ear infection

Less than one minute read time.

on saturday my daughter jazmin went in to have blood counts done and her white blood counts where low. she asked if an ear infection could cause this because if so she thought she might have one. the answer was yes and sure enough jazmin had an ear infection. so we went home with some antibiotics and were going to go back later and keep her at home. then on monday she started saying everything sounded very loud, she kept telling us to be quiet and was walking around whispering. i asked if her ear hurt and she said yes but its mostly just the noise. i took her back in and she had ruptured her ear drum, probably with a q tip. she can take a pain reliever but theres nothing to make it heal faster. shes very frustrated with everyone making so many noises... doors shutting, the dog running around. we live with my brother who has 3 kids, so its hard to keep things quiet for her. wish us luck though, does anyone have any tips or know how to make this better quicker

    Hi Maria,

    You could try putting some cotton wool in her ear as long as you dont push it in too far,and it dosent cause any pain.

    Its worth a try.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield. xx
