Suggest Treatment For Colic In An Infant Due To An Ear Infection

Posted on Mon, 14 Nov 2016

Question: My 15 month old daughter XXXXXXX is 21.14 lbs per her doctors appointment today. I don't think I did but just in case... She has a ear infection and is teething. I may have given her a dose of Tylenol (2.5ml) twice in a 2 hour period. One (maybe) around 7:30pm and the latest dose at 9:30. She's been crying and screaming and I feel so scared. I don't want anything to happen to my girl. Please tell me ASAP ASAP. Do I need to rush her to the ER???!!!???!!!
