My daughter is complaining about an ear ache is 9:40pm, what shoul I do.?

Question

she has been complaining for the last couple of days and I keep telling her she probably sleept wrong. now my 10 month old is running a fever. but is kinda late to take her to the doctor, any suggestions?

Answer 1

If it's been going on for 2 days, it must not be that serious.  Call your doctor by 9:00 am tomorrow morning and make an appointment for their next available time.   They may just drain it; in which case she will feel like she's back in the real world again.    Hope she feels better soon.

Answer 2

calll the docotr

Answer 3

Old trick my mom did for us when we had earaches.  Take about a cup of regular salt and heat it up on the stove DO NOT PUT IN MICRO funnel it into a sock NO HOLES tie it then slip then into the other sock NO HOLES and tie it. then have her lay on the salt sock. the warm salt will draw out any wax that is causing the ear ache. the warmth also puts them back to sleep. and a tylenot for kids.

Answer 4

Take her to the doctor first thing in the morning. Keep her ear dry. If she gets water in it, you may have to have tubes put in. But try to take a wet cloth and put it on her forehead. That will bring the fever down. Having her mother close will also help her. The best thing to do is to take her to the hospital though, fevers in babies get worse at night and it could get bad.

Answer 5

She may have an ear infection. I doubt it's because she 'slept wrong'. My daughter had earpain before too.The Doctor told me  to give her some pain medication for it especially for children. They sell it at the drugstore over here. (I live in Europe) So give her something like children's tylenol or whatever they have there. If you don't have it, get someone to drive to Wal-Mart & buy it for you.  He also prescribed an antibiotic if it got worse. If there is any waxy substance that comes out of the ear & also smells bad, then she needs antibiotics. A Dr. can look in the ear to tell. My daughter's ear got better so I didn't need to buy the antibiotics because it didn't get worse.

Answer 6

If the pain is really bad then I would take her to the hospital. Earaches (next to toothaches) are one of the worst pains there are, at least in my opinion. She probably won't sleep at all tonight if the pain is that bad either.

If she can wait it out until morning, then you'll have to take her to the doctor then. In the meantime, crush a clove of garlic and put the juice in an eyedropper and apply a few drops in the ear. Another old remedy my mother-in-law shared with me is to fill a small sack or pillow (with breathable material such as cotton) with some normal flour. Have your daughter bring the pillow to bed with her and rest her ear on it for the night. The flour draws out the moisture in the ear.

Good luck and I hope your little ones feel better soon!

Answer 7

Go to the ER now.  Quit waiting.

Answer 8

Take her to a hospital. Their open 24 hours.

Answer 9

You can wait it out for the night and call the Dr as soon as they open in the morning.  Most likely an ear infection unless she has been swimming then it could be swimmers ear but it is something worth calling the Dr about.

Answer 10

you should have a 24 hour urgent care. Ear aches can hurt really bad I would take her in and see whats up with her ear.
