Have you tried inclining one side of his crib so he's not sleeping flat? May help take some of the pressure off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-infections-and-sleep#post-1245121 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 16:03:03 +0000 Smurfette 1245121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice just a hug Mom!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ear-infections-and-sleep#post-1245045 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 15:42:54 +0000 travellingbee 1245045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my LO is 8 months old and and has had recurrent ear infections for months. They have decided to go ahead and do tubes but he won't get them for another couple of weeks. In the meantime... he doesn't sleep lately unless we hold him. He has a cold with fluid in his ears but not an actual infection right now so no antibiotics. I don't know how to help relieve his pain so he can sleep (and we can too!!!!!) We have tried tylenol and ibuprofen and it works for a couple hours max. Anyone have any other suggestions for how to help relieve the pain/pressure from the middle ear fluid? Thanks! </p>
