pain stop night..

[black_rose]

Give her a dose tonight and see how it goes, it can be hard getting them to take it though as it tastes awful. Hopefully after a good nights sleep she will start to get better.

I used to use a combination of panadol and Paedamin (the panadol for pain and the paedamin for the cold part). You you usually have to ask for Paedamin as it's kept behind the where the pharmacist does their stuff and they will usually come and talk to you.
DS2 used to get pretty heavy duty ear infections (sounds like your little one is too) when he had a cold and this seemed to be the only thing that helped before we got onto the AB's. I also only used the Paedamin at night as that is when the ear infection is at it's worst when they are lying down.
I would have used Pain Stop if I had of known about it as they pain he was in was just heart breaking when he had those ear infections!!

Give her the Pain Stop. It sounds like you both need it

We've used it too - ear infections can be horrid. Give it to her and see how you go. When my GP suggested it I baulked but she is really thorough and not pro-medicating at all. I know you have had sleep issues but you are giving it to her for pain relief and have exhausted all other options. xxx
