It gets bad during teething and often when he's tired. I'd just wait until tonight and keep an eye on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162853 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:49:17 +0000 purrpletulips 1162853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless she spikes a fever or refuses meals I wouldn't take her to the doctor. Pulling on an ear can be from teething as well as ear infection and other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162852 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:48:42 +0000 MamaMoose 1162852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO often pulls on her ear when she's sleepy so I wouldn't put too much stock in ear pulling if she doesn't have a temp and it otherwise acting normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162848 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:47:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 1162848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: hopefully they can! Our daycare always reports LO's temp if they are calling about her acting off/sick/super fussy.</p> <p>The one ear infection LO had, she actually did not have a fever, but she was up ALL NIGHT (seriously, every hour) screaming in pain so it was clear that something was very outside the norm.</p> <p>I'd try not to worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162843 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:43:11 +0000 bisous 1162843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Great point! I will call them to see if they can take her temp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162841 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:42:30 +0000 bisous 1162841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh--you guys are awesome! I think I will wait and check her temp tonight and see whether she shows any other signs of being sick. Thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162830 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:38:37 +0000 yoursilverlining 1162830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait and see. Can your daycare take her temp? (ours does). If she isn't acting "off" in any other way, I would just wait and see, but of course ask them to keep you informed if anything changes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162828 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:37:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1162828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wait and see. I've taken LO in to the ped twice when she was ear pulling. No ear infections, one paranoid mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162824 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:36:27 +0000 plantains 1162824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait and see, pulling her ear at that age doesn't necessarily mean an ear infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162819 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:35:38 +0000 Andrea 1162819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait and see as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162818 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:35:35 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1162818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait. Under a year they can't pinpoint pain like that, is what I've read. My lo pulls on his ears while teething, but it can also be that you lo just discovered that she even has ears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162808 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:32:07 +0000 Mamaof2 1162808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a wait and see approach. If she is getting a cold her ears may be bothering her but it doesn't necessarily mean EI </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162806 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:31:40 +0000 mediagirl 1162806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, they don't really associate ear pain with pulling at their ears. I would wait and see but if she seems uncomfortable tonight or tomorrow morning, I would take her in to the ped, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162805 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:31:14 +0000 autumnlove 1162805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait until tonight. The teachers will probably call back if she has a temperature! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162800 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:30:34 +0000 Smurfette 1162800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take her in. Probably an ear infection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162799 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:30:01 +0000 Adira 1162799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pulling on her ear can be a sign of teething or even just that she's sleepy!! I wouldn't go pick her up early because of it if the daycare isn't overly concerned! Maybe check her temperature tonight, but I'm sure she's fine, especially if she hasn't been sick lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162798 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:29:50 +0000 littlek 1162798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: Hmmm, I'd leave her at daycare and check her temp and watch her tonight. If she's still pulling her ear, I'd get a drs appt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-calledhelp#post-1162791 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:27:48 +0000 bisous 1162791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So daycare just called to tell me DD (she is 5 months) is pulling at her left ear--didn't ask me to come pick her up, but wanted to let me know. She was fine all weekend but did wake up earlier than usual this morning...but seemed fine. She is sometimes stuffy in the mornings but i have just been using the Nosefrida daily. </p> <p>She hasn't been sick yet and I just don't know what to do! Is her pulling her ear enough to warrant a doctor's appointment? Should i pick her up from daycare early? Should I wait and check her temp tonight? Help! </p>
