He didn't get fevers. He also wouldn't want to lay down. The pressure hurts their ears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965164 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 09:26:24 +0000 Sparkler 1965164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Inability to sleep at night after or during a runny nose is often the only symptoms for my kids. TV is the only way for us to get through the night. I would definitely take her in to be checked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965113 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 08:58:40 +0000 mrsjyw 1965113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None!</p> <p>We didn't know but found out at a well check appt that he had a double ear infection! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965099 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 08:38:53 +0000 Smurfette 1965099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing!!</p> <p>We only know she has one because her ear drum bursts, and we see the drainage. She is getting tubes in two weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965094 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 08:27:53 +0000 catomd00 1965094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fever and just wasn't herself. Very fussy and lethargic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965069 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 07:39:11 +0000 looch 1965069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually, my son would get an ear infection two weeks after having a cold. The sign would be a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965044 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 06:25:05 +0000 MamaT 1965044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has only ever had one ear infection but when he did get one he did not have a fever. He was acting perfectly normal but as soon as he laid down to go to bed he would scream and sit right back up. I could calm him down pretty easily but as soon as his head hit the pillow he'd scream again. His doctor said this was because of how the fluid drained when his head laid flat. I would of never of known he had one if it wasn't for the odd screaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965018 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 04:16:12 +0000 lamariniere 1965018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS didn't get one until after 3, but complained of his ear hurting the first time. The second time, which happened a few months ago, he told me he couldn't breath (he could, just fine) and that something in his mouth hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965006 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 02:04:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1965006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: Baby Einstein is literally the only thing that will soothe her when she's like this! Is that... normal?</p> <p>My M doesn't have a fever at all.....</p> <p>Thanks for weighing in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1965005 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:59:54 +0000 StbHisMrs 1965005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: All three of mine love Baby Einstein :wink: </p> <p>My one year old has been fighting bedtime, not screaming but pretty fussy.</p> <p>When M has an ear infection she gets a high fever and tells me how badly her ears hurt. When my oldest would get them, they'd make him sick to his stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1964997 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:14:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1964997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh Gosh.

Once night it was as late as 3:45 am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1964995 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:11:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1964995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: Not sure...but she screamed for the entire 2 hours we were getting our tree (J had to sit in the car) and now has been screaming since 6 pm (so over 4 hours). Not one single nap today. Just screaming, arching, flailing, refusing to sleep. Once we put Baby Einstein on, she's as happy as a clam. She doesn't want to nurse, eat, bounce, be held, nothing. But Baby Einstein fixes it.</p> <p>I would feel bad if we were making her CIO if she was truly in pain, so I thought I would check about an ear infection.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1964994 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:05:22 +0000 PurplePeony 1964994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: OMG, maybe it's something with the weather...or in the water...or who knows, but my 1-year-old has been doing the same thing for a couple weeks now. She has a cold but I'm pretty sure she doesn't have an ear infection. But she's been REFUSING to go to sleep. Usually, she's calm but sleepy, and as soon as we head toward the crib, she stiffens up and starts to cry immediately. She can even be asleep in my arms and as soon as she touches the crib mattress, she starts screaming. I know this isn't helpful, but I just wanted to say you're not alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1964983 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:41:15 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1964983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I don't notice anything, sometimes he throws up in the motn or wakes up (which is unusual). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1964957 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:13:36 +0000 erinpye 1964957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When S had one, she had a fever, slept a super long nap (which was very unlike her), tilted her head to the side, and was pretty fussy. Do you think M has one? :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1964952 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:08:33 +0000 KT326 1964952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A fever was his main symptom along with a decrease in appetite and not wanting to drink anything. Some babies will pull at there ears or rub them but mine never did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-los-symptoms-when-heshe-had-an-ear-infection#post-1964950 Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:04:18 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1964950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of my kids have either had an ear infection yet. Trying to figure out if there's something wrong that makes my 1-year old scream for hours before every single nap/bedtime or if she's just being willful.</p> <p>What were your LO's symptoms if they had an ear infection? </p>
