R has a brown/yellow discharge from just one ear. I used 3 qtips and it seems to have cleaned it up. DH thinks it is just wax buildup. But it seems to liquid for that.
She started pulling at yesterday but hasn't today. She slept fine night, been a little more cranky, but is getting her top canines. She also has a runny nose and a slight cough in the AM.
Any ideas?

@Smurfette: If she has a runny nose then it could be an ear infection. Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to take her to the ped

When O had her ear infection I never would've known. No fever, cranky but I blamed teething, pulled her ear but again I blamed teething *and* she's always had a lot of earwax so I also notice when she pulls her ear it needs to be cleaned again.
All that to say it could all be coincidental but I would take her in to be safe if you can - my mom encouraged me to take O in but I really didn't think she had an infection. I felt so guilty when the dr said she did.

It could be an ear infection but it's probably better to make a trip to her ped's office to be sure. Hopefully it's nothing but just teething and lots of ear wax!

@lawbee11: do I need to take her to urgent care? Or wait and call the pedi in the am, and she won't be seen till the afternoon

@Smurfette: Our co-pay for urgent care is way more and it's a total PITA (long waits), so I'd wait and take her to the ped tomorrow if it were M.

Whenever I call the doctor's office their recording says that if your child has draining ears to bring them in. So maybe it's worth a trip into the ped tomorrow?

@sorrycharlie: @erwoo: @lawbee11: @photojane: @tinyperson: Thanks! I am going to call the pedi in the morning. DH thinks it is waste of a trip but I hope for R's sake he is right!
