Here we go again
So my oldest daughter who is 4 had ear tubes when she was younger because she had constant chronic ear infections...they did a great job and I was so glad we made the decision to get them put in....they have been out for almost a year now and she has been doing great....until 3 weeks ago. She had a cold which turned into an ear infection...not a big deal for us, we know the drill. So we started her on Keflex and it seemed to improve...until about 5 days into it. Then she told me the ear pain was back again....so we marched back to the Dr's again. He couldn't see anything wrong with her ears this time, but he then used this machine that blows air into her ear and then measures the density or something. Well it came back that her ears were still filled with fluid so we were started on Zithromax(the power hitter). Well so after 4 days of the stuff she is complaining that her ear pain is worse and she spent the night at her grandmas house and grandma said she was crying at night and when she woke up that her ear hurt. So yesterday for the third time we went back to see her Dr. He again said that he didn't see anything when he looked in her ear and he isn't convinced that it is an ear infection now, rather so much fluid in her ears that it is causing severe pressure and pain...so now we are on a nasal spray and a decongestant until we can get back in to her ENT(ear Dr) which isn't until April 31st...so what I am supposed to do until them. Let her be in severe pain...that is not an easy thing for a parent. She is on Motrin and Tylenol throughout the day but come on...somehow I think we are going to back to tubes again!!

Poor baby. I'm so sorry for both your daughter AND you. Don't be afraid to ask her doctor to refer to an ear, nose and throat specialist! If I've never learned anything - I learned that when it comes to doctors, hospitals, etc. - if we don't ask - we don't get! Treat it like you're going out to dinner - if you're not satisfied - send it back! Hopefully you'll get the answers you need and I hope your daughter feels better soon!

I have vague memories of having ear infections as a kid, and they are bad memories. So far, my daughter hasn't got any and I'm so happy about that.
