my bb also has the ear infection, i don't want to give the anti-biotic too, but i am giving her anti-biotic now because : -
my friend's daughter (she is now 9 years old) got the ear infection when she's 2 years of ages. her Dr gave her anti-biotic too late and cos her has the hearing problem now.
so i say give anti-biotic now, just in case it got worst. but has to give bb lots of water to drink.
