Ear Infection?
We think Jamesie might be fighting his first ear infection, but we're really not sure. One would think that after a combined 4 years of parenting babies I would be able to spot an ear infection, but neither of our kids have ever had them, so I'm really clueless in this area. It makes me realize how lucky we have been with their health! Anyway, J has a fever and red ears and he's irritable (crying and whining). He had 2 molars come in last week, and they are still working their way through his gums, so that might be it as well. No other symptoms like snot, grabbing his ears, sleeplessness (he slept great last night). Anyone out there with ear infection experience have thoughts? could it be teething or a virus? We're all ears. hehe.

Hey Erin,
Ear infections are tricky to diagnose! Augustine rarely shows the typical signs when he has an ear infection. He doesn't run a fever or pull on his ears--he is just irritable, and I get that Mommy instinct to take him in. Especially since J is running a fever, I would guess something is going on {teething "fevers" run no higher than 100.5}. Good luck! If he does have an ear infection, the meds will make him feel a lot better quickly.
