EUREKA! At last we have stumbled upon the answer to Nik’s current nocturnal pain.
Oddly enough, it’s the same thing that caused him pain a mere eight days ago: an ear infection. As it turns out, the anitbiotic didn’t knock out the infection and it came back. With a vengeance.
Today, Nik spiked a fever of 102 F and lost his appetite entirely (!!!). Truly, I’ve never seen a child who wanted to eat more than Nik does. But today, all he could muster was a token bite or two before he simply started licking the flavor off of things and putting them back on the plate (or the floor of my car). Such a sad little boy.
We’ve started another round of antibiotics and now added drops to both ears.
Hope you all have a joyful and safe holiday weekend!
That is AWESOME that you figured that out — WOW!!!! You rock! Hope Nik feels better soon!! XO R
sending hugs and get well wishes for the little guy. hope he sleeps well tonight and wakes with a voracious appetite in the morning!
***HUGS*** Take it easy and I hope everybody recovers quick.
what a relief to find the problem
swallowing hurts so bad with an EI -now wonder he is licking things and putting them back – R used to eat like a champ with the help of Motrin when he had EI’s
hope he feels better soon
Good luck with the new round of antibiotics… and big hugs to you & your sweet guy!
Oh I’m soooooo glad it was something you could address! Hope little boo is feeling better soon! Love to you all.

I am now on a 3rd lot of antibiotics for an actue ear infection that i have had for a month. Ive never had one before and the pain has been unbearable. So i really feel for Nik and sincerely hope it clears up soon. xx
Poor little man. May he feel better soon. Ear infections are no fun. So glad you you got to the bottom of the problem.
