Answer 1

A heating pad set on low, or a warm water bottle placed on the ear, may ease the pain. You may also put a covered ice bag over the ear to relieve pain.

Do not put anything in the child's ear unless suggested by your doctor.

The child can swim if the eardrum is not broken. If there is no fever, the child can return to school.


Call Your Doctor If...
The child does not feel better in a few hours.
The child has a temperature.
The child continues to cry, is fussy, and not as active as usual.
The child starts vomiting or has diarrhea.
The child has a skin rash.
The child develops new problems that may be due to the medicine.


Seek Care Immediately If...
The child has a high temperature.
The child is crying, fussy, and tugging at the ears after taking the medicine for 48 hours.
The child has swelling around the ear.
The child seems to have pain or stiffness when moving the neck or complains of neck pain.
The child is vomiting, less active, and more sleepy than usual.
You feel the child is getting worse.

Answer 2

Take her to doctor or chemist and they'll give you the best advice. If thats not possible, give her a placebo (a pill that will not harm her, even a sweet that looks like a pill) and tell her it will help her ear ache. Coming from you she will believe that it will help and her ear ache will get better because of that belief. Try it ...

Bactrim side effects Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as: fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash; the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild; pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding; cough, feeling short of breath; diarrhea that is watery or bloody; feeling restless or irritable, confusion, hallucinations, seizure; slow heart rate, weak pulse, severe tingling, numbness, muscle pain or weakness; nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, itching, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms; or urinating less than usual or not at all. Less serious Bactrim side effects may include: painful or swollen tongue; dizziness, spinning sensation; ringing in your ears; joint pain; or sleep problems (insomnia). This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. What other drugs will affect Bactrim? Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially: seizure medication such as phenytoin (Dilantin); a diuretic (water pill); a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin); methotrexate (Trexall, Rheumatrex); or an ACE inhibitor such as benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), enalapril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), or trandolapril (Mavik). This list is not complete and there may be other drugs that can interact with Bactrim. Tell your doctor about all your prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
