| does anybody have an idea of tell tail signs of ear infections ? Louis has woken up just about every hour for the past two nights, he doesnt even realise hes crying most the time but he is crying with his pain cry :S during the day hes playing and literally a split second later hes screaming while playing hes just had his top 2 teeth come through but they arent the problem, also his ears are so so waxy to the extent where they have to be cleaned daily at the minute and when i rub between his ear and jaw bone it seems to sooth him ...hes also off his solids but yogurts milk and tea hell have ooh and quavers our doctors was closed today but do you think im over reacting or should i take him tomorro? |

| avas got one atm and they're quite hard to detect because babies play with thier ears a lot, is there any discharge at all? ava's were bloody inside where they'd irritated her, she also started moving her head side to side a lot.
have you any painkillers you could give him for tonight, im doing calpol and ibuprofen as well as her antibiotics. |

| im almost 95% sure its not his teeth as there is no signs and his gums arent red swollen hot or anything also when hes teething hes constantly in his mouth with everything he holds (as i took his dummy off him at 4 months) but hes not at the minute he just seems in pain and presses the side of his head against me he also has a cough and a cold in general x |

| My little fella was the same a few months back. He wasn't really messing with his ears as such but he was waking quite upset at night and had a slight temp. Off his food and had sticky wax in his ears. I took him to the doc's, turns out it wasn't quite and ear infection but it was quite inflamed Doctor prescribed something to clear his sinuses (the tubes between his ears and nose) along the lines of those saline nasal drops. |
