I went to the GP again today (they had a space!) and now have an action plan.

DS's fluid has subsided, which is great! What I'm going to do is give him "Flo" nasal spray 2 x day until we leave, have some Vicks on hand to inhale from a tissue, give Demazin if I think he needs it, pre-flight or Panadol... Chew saltanas or something going up and down. My GP said it's only if the ear is infected that there is a chance of rupture, so I feel much better about that aspect too!

Also got some antibiotics (dry) to make up only if we need it OS.

I realise that the Internet can be good and bad - getting me all worried, probably for no good reason! I've got enough stress trying to get my family packed up for a month away, without having to worry about these things...

Going to see the GO for a quick check a few days before we leave too.

Thanks for all the help.
