I am so aggravated today. My YDS (Andrew) has had a runny (green) nose for over a week and complains that his ear is hurting, so like the good mom that I try to be, I take him to the pediatrician, who will admit that he has fluid on his ear BUT won't give us any medicine. I am well aware that the infections can be either viral or bacterial. (All 3 of my children have had more than one set of tubes! They have had more ear infections than I can count on all my fingers, toes, and hairs on my head! And we didn't treat all of the infections with drugs.) All I wanted was an antibiotic just in case Saturday or Sunday morning he decides to spike a fever and be miserable, I would be prepared. I guess that this is just foolish to the DRs. ARRGHHH.
Sorry for my ranting! I feel better now.
Andrew doesn't, so I'm taking him to his ENT tomorrow pm.
