My DD has gone to school with a double ear infection when it didn't seem to hurt her tons. No fever. Gave her childrens Ibu beforehand and all was good.
She's also had ear infections that make her cry and hold her ears, and she wakes up every 1 hour in the night. I've kept her home when that happened.. no sleep and her crying all day wouldn't exactly be productive to her (or anyone else) in class.
It just depends on her pain. Most ear infections don't seem to bother her tons. So if there's no fever, she goes.
If you send her to school when she's really run down you open yourself up to getting other germies that might keep her out longer. An extra day of couch potato time will help the immune system.

Really depends. If the antibiox had kicked in and my DC was feeling well, sure. But, as my kids have gotten bigger it's taken longer for antibiox to kick in, so they probably wouldn't feel well enough to go.
She's got to be in a low of pain with a double EI. no way.
Not always Mine had one before and it seriously caused no pain? We went in for something else and they said "she has a double infection" and I was all... huh?! I was shocked.
Re: Curious- Would you send kid to Kindergarten?
Depends on what "not herself" means.

she's only said her ears hurt once and a few hours later I've asked her and she's said no they don't hurt. She's slept fine.
I was just curious what others would do.
