Oh yeah, they gave me drops. They're pretty useless, though.

Happy Anniversary to Cashmere and her DH!!!
Soak a washcloth and microwave it, then wrap it in another cloth so you don't burn yourself.
Ima go with Dana's plan and lie down. I don't know how little kids deal with this at all.
Allyson, you can also turn a hair dryer on LOW and hold it near your ear -- not too close, obviously. Anything with a little heat will help.
Give the antibiotics another day, and use as much ibuprofen or whatever that you can.
I have never had ear infections, so other please speak up, but would warm water IN the ear work?
What Dana suggested. The warm heat helps. I used to get chronic ear infections and sometimes I really wished the eardrum would burst, it hurt so bad. There usually isn't much hearing loss, if any, from a single incidence of burst eardrum. I think it has to be really severe or chronic to get to that point. Doctors have put me on planes with the warning it might happen, "but it'll feel better afterwards. Just don't get water in that ear for a few days." Alrighty then!
OK, back to work.
but would warm water IN the ear work?
It sounds like it would feel better, but I wouldn't since she also has eardrops (and I don't know if they are for pain or an anti-b.) Also, I wouldn't want to introduce any more crap into the already irritated canal.
Hearses to be made from Priuses
A limousine company in Japan plans to make hearses out of Priuses. They'll sell for $80,000.
Cool!
