Hi Jody, thanks for the info.. I didn't already know most of what

you said, I am clueless with ear problems, so it helps a lot. Autumn

is my first kid with any and I am just learning. Haven't seen an ENT

but I will be heading there soon, hopefully will get things worked

out and she can stop being sick all the time!

Good luck with Liam, sounds painful rupturing an ear drum, poor guy.
