Any thoughts?

Here in the last week or two Ashlynn has been waking up every 2 -3 hours crying. Her naps are about the same which sometimes last only for about 45-min to 1 hour. Does any one have any advise? She is 6 months old and currently is on Nexium and Erythromycin for her relux. Last night I tried a extra dose but that did not seem to work. When see woke up the last time I put her in her swing and she slept for about 4 hours. I have questioned teething becasue she had been chewing on everything she can get in her mouth and drooling like crazy, but she has also been a drooler. We had to cancel her Gi appt Tuesday ,because we got a BIG BIG ice strom and about 90% of out town is with out power, but we our the lucky 10% that does have power. WHen I pick her up she sometimes goes back to sleep or cries for a little and then she makes this gerd noise and then she is fine. I have also noticed that her breath is starting to smell like vomit(sorry for that term)

Oh she is taking Amoxil for fluid in her rt ear.

Any thought would be great

Thanks

Hi there – when my daughter has an ear infection sleep is disrupted prior to and during. when she was refluxing and teething it was a nightmare. If shes been on the amox, for longer than 48 hours and it still is going on don’t assume that the meds are working – not all infections respond to amox, they may need to change it. It didn’t touch my dd’s ear infections, we had to move onto several antibiotics before finding the right one.

You can give her Motrin and piggy back it with Tylenol 3/4 hours later but be careful because Motrin can upset their tummies. Also the meds can cause serious tummy upset so it might just be a combo of all of those things combined.

Hope shes better soon!

Erithromycin give me HORRIBLE stomach pain. Did her sleep get worse when you started that? Most babies do just fine on it, but I am one of those people who gets that side effect.

Other than that, I also thought ear infection..

Let us know what you find out..

I have no advice but wanted to let ya know my ds is going through the exact same thing right now and is taking erthomyacin and Prevacid and has mild hearing loss due to fluid (however it’s not painful). We sound like we have the same kid! If you find a ‘cure’ lemme know too! I can’t figure it out either since he always STTN since age 6wks but hasn’t in about 3wks.

Julie if you find a cure give me a yell too. I would have not known she had fluid in her ear if we did not go to the ent to check hearing. Last night she slept from 9p-3a, pretty good for her, but today at daycare she only slept 1 hours total .
