Hannah has an ear infection at the moment, she's had it for 2 weeks now and it did seem to get better for a while but about 2 days ago she started crying (for the first time in this whole ear infection time) and saying her ear was sore etc, so I started up the ibuprofen again for a couple of days and finished off the course of ABs which I had forgotten about when she seemed better
Two nights ago, the same night that she was crying about the pain, she woke up at 10pm and came to me and was very distressed about her ear hurting and cried so much and worked herself up and ended up dry-retching plus a little. She was fine once she settled down and I gave her some pamol (cause she was insistent that it was better than ibuprofen lol!), and she went back to sleep with no more dramas that night.
This morning she woke up and started puking a bit. It was bile-ish, not foody (sorry TMI), so I don't think she has a tummy bug. Also none of the rest of us are unwell except for sniffles. I know she has a sensitive tummy and after a D&V bug will often start up again a day or two later if she hasn't had a full 24 hours of the BRAT diet. So there's some sensitivity there, but I'm a bit concerned nonetheless.
For breakfast she has had lemon honey drink and dry toast and is holding that down fine and saying she feels better, but she is still pale and will be on a strict diet today.
Either she is puking out of distressedness (although she wasn't crying or worked up today), she has a bug, or perhaps something in her ear is upsetting things? She still has fluid in there (she still says she can 'hear herself talking in her ears'). Ideas anyone? The only other side effects she has had from ear infections before is (not complete) deafness.
