He obviously had quite a bit of ear pain and you could tell the ear was inflamed just by looking at it. He handled it well, I guess, because he wasn't miserable and everyone kept asking if he was. I took him to the ped and they prescribed Ofloxacin drops, which cleared it up quick. @Smurfette: He wouldn't let us near the ear, never mind pull on it. Sorry your little lady isn't feeling hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimmers-ear#post-1702052 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:06:35 +0000 Smurfette 1702052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Thanks! Given the amount of drool she had yesterday and chewing on her hands, it is teething. But I am will pick some up next time I am at Target.</p> <p>Also my Aunt showed me a trick yesterday, if you pull their ear up and they have no reaction then not swimmers ear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimmers-ear#post-1702049 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:01:18 +0000 Mamaof2 1702049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yes! They have ear drops for swimmers ear- I have used them several times on my kids and it clears the water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swimmers-ear#post-1701329 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 08:17:12 +0000 Smurfette 1701329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R was up most of the night crying like she was in pain. I thought teething but I am wondering if she has water in her ears since she had swimming lessons yesterday. She also had a bad nap yesterday, woke up twice crying during it. </p> <p>Poor girl was so tired she went down for a nap at 830! She takes one a day. I am scared we aren't going to get her to nap this afternoon now. </p> <p>But anyone have experience with swimmers ears in a toddler? Signs? </p>
