We've had some hassles with DD's ears over the last month or so, with recurring ear infections.

First time, she ran high temps all night and hardly slept, got in to GP and yep, infected right ear. She hadn't tugged on her ear at all, just the high temp. She had a bad reaction/severe tummy upset to the AB, GP took her off them after a day, checked her ear said it was on the mend and to see how we went.

Almost 2 weeks later she was just such a grump. No temps, no tugging on ear, sleeping okay, just seemed in a foul mood. I took her to the GP just in case and yep, left ear was now infected, right ear clear. Diff AB's, no reaction, did the repeat just in case, all seemed fine.

Today we go in to have her 12 month appt and I asked them to check just to be sure that her ears are okay, and both are infected! She has not had any temps, been in any way indicating they are sore, sleeping fine, ravenous appetite, in no way did I really think they'd be infected.

So we now have ear drops (which will be fun to get in I'm sure!) and hoping this clears it up.

This has all been the first time she's been sick or on meds, so we've been lucky so far, I guess I'm asking if there's anything else I can do that could help clear it up for good?

We have only made it to 3 swimming lessons this term due to the infections, could it be the pool? We did go last week for the first time in ages, we won't be going this week though. It's really hard to know they are infected if she does not appear unwell in any way.....
