need help ASAP! toddler with probable ear infection

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm needing some quick recommendations - my 2 year old NT son woke up fine this

morning, but a couple of hours later became SUPER cranky. Not like him at all.

At first I just suspected yeast die-off - the crankiness, rubbing his tongue

with his hand alot and tons of drooling today. Lately, I'd been noticing some

" yeasty " behaviors, so yesterday we started with probiotics (Nature's Way

Primadophilus Jr - 3 billion) three times per day. I gave him another dose at

breakfast before all this crying started.

When it started, I thought it was die-off and was prepared to just wait it out.

But now, he's asked to be put in my bed, so he's laying here with his eyes

closed and just sobbing and he's started swatting at his right ear. - I can tell

he's miserable. But no fever.

I have motrin in the house, but since he has no fever, I'm not sure I should go

that route? What can I do for his ear that will give his some relief? I'm

looking for something that I can just go buy off the shelf and not have to order

online.... We have a health food / supplement store and a Whole Foods pretty

close.

THANKS!
