My six-month old granddaughter woke this morning with drainage in her ear. She saw a doctor yesterday because she had a 101.5 fever. He said give her tylenol and liquids and just watch her. He checked her ears but didn t say anything. Also she screams when her mother wipes the crusty stuff from her ear. She has a doctor s appointment (6-month check-up) tomorrow evening. Shoud I be concerned or should I wait for to see the doctor tomorrow? Thanks
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an ear infection. I suggest to give her Tylenol for the fever. I also suggest using an eardrop with antibiotic to treat the infection. If the symptoms continue, you should see a pediatrician for a specific treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
