Chronic ear infections baby?

Question

Anyone else dealt with chronic ear infections with your baby? Last week she just finished round 4 of antibiotic, she’s better for about a week and then last night she started a fever, tugging on ears, I think we have another one. We have an appt tomorrow with the doctor and last appointment she said we will talk about getting referred to ENT. Ugh I just don’t get how she can be better for a week and then another one so quickly. I feel soooo bad for her. I’m so sick of her being sick! It’s been ongoing this summer.

Answer

As someone who did NOT get tubes in my ears, so I continued to have chronic ear infections as a child.... I'm now an adult with an irrational fear of doctors and ears that always feel "plugged up," though I don't get ear infections anymore.
I SHOULD go see if a doctor could help me with the plugged up ears, but I'm terrified because of all the pain I went through as a kid made me deeply afraid of doctors/hospitals.
So yeah, I'd say look into the tubes!

Answer

My husband had them when he was very young and he didn’t get tubes, but he needed 4 ear surgeries starting in his early 20s, and now he has constant ringing and drainage. His ears were so bad that he actually contemplated suicide in his late 20s. Now he’s in his 40s and they’re more manageable, but I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Ask your doctor about having tubes, or any other new options, before it gets too bad.

Answer

my boy had the same thing. 3 rounds of antibiotics and a fever of 104. I took him to the ent and now he 
has ear tubes. he got them at 9 months old. his ears are constantly draining now but no more ear infections and he hasn't been sick since getting the tubes. he is 17 months old now.

Answer

I did as a baby! I got tubes in my ears and never had a problem after:)
