My 3 year old keeps telling me her ear is crinkling. She's got a cold now, congested cough and stuffy nose. Sonim guessing her ear is popping? She also sometimes says her ears hurt but she tends to say it whenever she feels crummy- a throwback to when she had ear infections for six months straight. I brought her in to the pediatrician last time just in case but ears were perfectly clear then.

Have your LOs ever said that? Poor kid has had a rough few days- little cold and cough, then a stomach bug that thankfully only last about 12 hours, and now a worse cough and cold.
