Kathryn and I made our weekly trip to the pediatrician's office this morning. You think I'm kidding? Ha! See every post below about my daughter's health.
Turns out she still has the same ear infection which was first diagnosed a few weeks ago. Whoopee! We had this exact problem a few months ago. Amoxicillin just doesn't work on whatever funk my kid seems to be a magnet for. She's been prescribed some stronger meds and hopefully it will be knocked out this time. Kids are not supposed to be sick in the middle of the summer when the temperature is hovering at 106 degrees.
I'm really hoping that Kathryn won't end up with tubes, but it's beginning to seem inevitable at this point. I had terrible issues with my ears. Her uncle gets nasty ear infections and so does her cousin. Seems like she's being slammed from both sides of the family.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that this will be the last ear infection for a while.

I'm sorry to hear she is sick! Hope you both feel better soon! :)
It's ain't MY genes!
Do you think it also has something to do with swimming?
C-
Yeah, I get ear infections too on a few times I've been swimming. But have you ever tried administering herbal supplements to control recurrent ear infections? Alternative remedies can do wonders to ear health particularly when a regular dose of antibiotics doesn't seem to work anymore to subdue the infection. Moreover, the natural ingredients (herbal + homeopathic) set into herbal supplements won't impair the natural chemistry of your child's ear.
