LO (26 months) has been a piece of work lately. She has made some weird comments about hearing drums (throbbing?) and also pulled on her ears but no ear infection.

The doctor suggested it's teething. She is getting all four canines but I don't really "believe" in teething as a prolonged, super painful process based on our experience to date and this article which has some legit research: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_kids/2015/05/teething_symptoms_in_babies_are_not_as_bad_as_parents_think.html

But, you know, I am tempted to try some Motrin on her just to see if it helps improve her mood. Tomorrow I am going to try asking her about her teeth and gently touch them to see how she reacts. I don't know how reliable of a source she is though!
