How Can Fever, Eye Swelling, Ear Infections And Constipation Be Treated?

My daughter is 18 months old and was seen thursday at her doctors because she was not sleeping at night, tugging at her ears, and her eyes got swollen and had green stuff coming out of them. She was diagnosed with a double ear infection and was put on an antibiotic. I started the antibiotic thursday night and sat. I started to see improvements and as soon as sunday hit it all went down hill! She is now spiking fevers again, went 10 hours without peeing, not eating much, and now the green stuff is back and coming out of her eyes again. I dont know if her antibiotic isnt working or what!

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi... by what you say I feel that this could be a viral illness. If it had been a bacterial infection she would have responded to the antibiotics. But as her symptoms have recurred, I feel this could be a viral illness affecting both eyes and ears.

I suggest you get back to her pediatrician regarding this and let him have a look at her.

Regards - Dr. Sumanth
