Not drinking a lot bc of ear infection?
DD has an ear infection , her first one! She's not really drinking much, is there anything I can do to get her to drink some more, I want her to have as much fluids as possible...Also anything else to make her more comfy?
And just a picture of my sick little valentine Image Attachment(s):

Re: Not drinking a lot bc of ear infection?
The sucking probably hurts
Take the top off a cup and let her drink that way, I've found that helps DS, its messy, but less sucking.
I love that picture!! Did you edit it at all?

Re: Not drinking a lot bc of ear infection?
it probably hurts and there is alot of pressure when she swallows. maybe when the pain medicine kicks in she will want to drink more. maybe something different like ice pops will interest her.

Try some Tylenol. My DS has one and for the first few days he hardly ate at all. But, the Tylenol seemed to get him feeling a bit better.

nope, no editing, i got something called the lightscoop (online) and it's a cheaper way of using a speedlight so that the flash bounces ...have no clue what I just wrote, but you get what I'm saying
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to try that!

Motrin & a warm compress by by her ear lobe. You can massage it.
Then follow it up with a drink. Also hold her as upright as possible while she drinks.
