Ear Infection

My daughter called me twice tonight because she was worried about my 4 mos. old granddaughter. She had been crying most of the afternoon and that is very unlike her. She is one of the most content babies I have ever seen. I suggested things like teething, though she's a little young, and possible ear infection, but she didn't have a fever. They were on their way to acute care when I received the second call. My daughter said she felt kind of silly going to acute care just for a baby crying. I told her it never hurts to find out what's going on even if it's nothing. At least you then have peace of mind. I remember well, those days of being a young mother and questioning what was the right thing to do. Anyway, it turned out that she does have an ear infection. I'm very glad they took her so she can get the medicine she needs to get well. They may be in for a long night.
