Cold Complications
Kids with colds often say their ears hurt, but this doesn't necessarily signal an ear infection. The inner ear may be making more fluid, like a runny nose, and a child just feels pressure. Babies may be fussy, have trouble sleeping, or tug at their ears. Your child may also have a fever.
Medical care: Call the doctor if your child seems uncomfortable, particularly if she has had previous infections. If she's over 2, try a wait-and-see approach before requesting antibiotics. The pediatrician can also prescribe anesthetic eardrops.
Help at home: Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can relieve her pain. A warm compress on her ear can be soothing too.

I am very thankful for the at home job I found 2 years ago. I love it. I work from home part time and I don't sell, stock, deliver, cold call, take orders, handle money or anything like that. I recommend it to anyone who is good with computers and phone. Go to www.athome4kids.awugreen.com If you are trainable, this is the job for you and it costs only 1.00 to start. I love it.
