Thought for the day

Are ear infections contagious? Is it hereditary? I went to the doctor yesterday and I have one and Ella was up all night screaming and crying, is her dreaded ear infection back again. Can't handle another one. Elaine said she woke up screaming during yesterday's nap. Outlook does not look good. Going back to pediatrician again today at 4:00. They did say last week at her 2 week appointment that she had some fluid still in her ear. Why don't they give medicine for beginning stages of ear infections no they wait until no one in the house gets any sleep because my poor 2 year old is up screaming because of the pains in her ears. Makes complete sense. Those stinkers (that's from Ella)! They just another $20 copay from mommy & daddy!
