A few times she's just been super cranky. Twice we've taken her to the doctor for being super cranky after a cold and she didn't have ear infections. She's verbal but has never said her ears hurt, tugged on her ears, or pressed on them. When. We ask she says her ears done hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442241 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:35:49 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2442241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never said her ear hurt or pulled on her ear. We just knew that every time she had a cold, it ended in an ear infection... which is why we got tubes... twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442225 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:17:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2442225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Follow up- will your LOs tell you their ear hurts or say yes if you ask? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442216 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 16:09:06 +0000 Smurfette 2442216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine doesn't get fevers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442202 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:59:11 +0000 BananaPancakes 2442202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always know when he has one because he gets a super high fever. He never complains, but his ped says that's rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442112 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:15:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 2442112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yeah unknown it usually follows a cold. And I guess it did follow the fever too, though hers was low. I just thought the fever wouldn't have gone away while there was still an active infection- though the one other time she had an ear infection she also didn't have a fever when she was diagnosed. I almost didn't even bring her this morning because she seemed ok but then she stared crying about nothing and I was like, just bring her for peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442098 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:08:49 +0000 looch 2442098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had a cold, then two weeks later a high fever. I didn't even suspect an ear infection, but my mom did and I brought him in. </p> <p>Every single time he's had an ear infection (we didn't have tons), it was following a cold with a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442088 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:05:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 2442088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: thanks! I'm almost glad it is the ears because we can treat it and it will be better. I thought it was just her being two and reacting to her new sister- antibiotics won't help that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442084 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 15:03:50 +0000 jhd 2442084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has had several and never had a fever with any of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442074 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:59:24 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2442074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has had two ear infections. First time no fever. Second time a low grade fever a couple days before, which we think was from HFM that he also had. </p> <p>Hope she feels better!! I found Advil helped best for the pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442071 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:58:25 +0000 LC 2442071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy is only 8 months, but has had 4 ear infections and he didn't get a fever with any of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442069 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:57:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2442069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; the first time DD had an ear infection she had 104 fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fever-with-an-ear-infection#post-2442058 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:53:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 2442058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your LO get a fever with an ear infection? High, low? If they are verbal will they tell you their ear hurts? How do you usually know it's time to see the doctor? </p> <p>My 2.5 year old was just diagnosed with an ear infection this morning. She had a check up over a week ago and the ped noted there was some fluid in her ears but it wasn't infected, just something to be aware of. Starting the next night she started sleeping worse than usual, waking up super cranky, and being on edge all week and quick to cry. She had a mild fever over the weekend but it went away so I didn't think it was the ear infection and when asked, she specifically said no, her ears didn't hurt. </p> <p>But she's been such a pain to deal with I brought her in this morning to rule it out and both ears were inflamed. Poor kid dealing with it for a full week! </p> <p>Curious how common it is to have the ear infection without a fever. </p> <p>Oh and she has been freaking out when I wash her hair and especially behind her ears. I guess that was probably another clue I missed. </p>
