Grommets
#3 had grommets put in yesterday.
A couple of hours afterwards he was running a mild temp (37.5C). They told me if it got worse to see theGP, which I've done today. She's prescribed antibiotics for infection, which I've started. He's now got a raging temperature, and the external ears are both hot. Is this usual or should I be concerned? I haven't come across anyone else who's had this problem. (the weather is such that I won't be going to A&E unless it's necessary, as it'd be more dangerous than staying home-council's running out of grit and salt) Debbie |

If the temperature is very high, call back the GP!!! --Beth Kevles -THE-COM-HERE http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

I would give him a dose of pamol and give it 4 hours, to give the
antibiotics a chance to work (how many doses has he had so far 1? ) If in 4 hours the temp is back up then I would phone the GP back and ask if you should bring him in. -- Pip, in NZ My girls : DD1 Jasmine - 5 weeks early - March 02 - 4lb 12oz 6 1/2 now and such a treasure.

Basically spent the day there feeding him rehydration salts as he was floppy. He'd get up to play and 30 seconds later would curl up on the floor and go to sleep. Last night was touch and go whether I took him back in, but he does seem much better today, and has now even taken a dose of antibiotics without bringing it straight back again. hopefully he's on the mend now.
