So Audrina has had cold symptoms for about 5-6 days. Cough and runny nose and not sleeping well. I thought it was just a normal winter cold so I've been giving her tylenol and cough medicine. She never complained about anything else bothering her except her throat. Well, this morning I was getting her dressed so we could go get my MIL a birthday present. I went to brush her hair and noticed it was stuck to her face. So I looked and she had orangish-red junk draining from her ear and down her face. I immediately called the doctor. We just got back home. She has a TERRIBLE ear infection. She is on an antibiotic by mouth and also antibiotic ear drops twice a day. I feel HORRIBLE! If I would've taken her earlier this wouldnt have gotten this bad. The doctor said the reason why she hasn't complained of pain in her ear is because she isn't feeling any pain. She has tubes in her ears so the tubes are draining out the infection instead of her ear filling up with pus, so there is no pain. He told me not to be so hard on myself, but its really hard. I just feel like an awful mom. I should've known there was something else going on :sad::tears2::cry1:
