Suggest Treatment For Severe Ear Infection In A Child
My 5 1\5 month old son has an ear infection, we went to his doctor yesterday, and she said to come back tomorrow to see if antibiotics were needed. I didn t just want to do antibiotics right away, I wanted to see if it would go away on it s own. Anyway, he s been better today, it still seems to be bugging him, but he s not screaming or really cranky. The reason I m writing is because I just put him to bed, and he feels a little cold and clammy, should I be worried?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Dont delay treatment, if treating doctor saying he may require antibiotics for infection you should visit your doctor. There are possibilty that your doctor dont advise for oral antibiotics, many times antibiotic ear drops are sufficient to treat.
