In Reply to: TLM - re ear/upper respiratory infect'ns posted by majik on Tuesday, 9. August 2005 at 16:53 Bali Time:
Yes, my 4yo got zithromax (she just had an ear infection)& sofradex ear drops, 10yo got augmentin (he had ear & upper resp. infection). Hubby also got zithromax.
4yo was the first to get sick, and she only complained of a sore tummy (which is really what she says when anything is wrong). Of course once we'd been to Dr and got diagnosis, about 2 hours later she complained of sore ears (and we were like....'you couldn't have mentioned that 24 hours ago?!'). Hubby and 10yo came down a day or so later, so for them, we suspected straight away and went straight back to Dr. Haven't tried the warm wet compresses, but from what you've said it sounds effective.
