are at least six months old, have mild symptoms (
mild ear pain and fever that is less than 102.2), and the pediatrician isn't sure if the child really has an ear infection
After talking to the nurse practitioner, we learned that
mild cases of swimmers
ear will often go away on their own, while drops are often given for more severe infections (and for
pain relief).
So a lot of those types of symptoms are fatigue, feeling like you're getting the flu but never really coming down with the flu, light sensitivity in the eyes, tinnitus in the
ears,
pain in the lymph nodes underneath the
ears, those kinds of things, maybe a
mild fever but hardly ever fever associated with it.
