I am possitive my 8 month old has an earache...what to do?

There isn't really much ��� can do until your doc can prescribe an antibiotic for the infection. Do ��� know which ear it is? If so try to lay him down on the opposite side because of the pressure build up when he lays on that side. My doc told me that when they lay down pressure builds around the inflamed eardrum. So when my son had his we laid him on the other side.. Or on his back. Also Infants Tylenol works wonders because it helps to calm the pain. My pediatrician also recommended that if he has a hard time falling to sleep, even with the tylenol, then liquid childrens benadryl is ok To give for them to get some rest. Since yours is only 8 months I would say 0.4 on a dropper. If your unsure call the pharmacist and ask how much to give him. Be sure to give them his wieght and age. Though the dosage is by weight. Hope I helped.
