My son’s been very fussy most of the week. He already got his canines in on one side and it looked like the other side was coming out too, which made some sense with all the fussiness. But then towards the middle of the week, he stopped wanting to eat or drink anything, too. On Thursday, we started hydrating with medicine droppers which helped some and he started seeming better yesterday morning. Then he got worse in the e ending again.
Because of this, we took him to urgent care this morning to see if anything else was up. They saw that he has an ear infection and then also tested him for strep and Covid. Even though he had Covid only 6 weeks ago, he tested positive for it again! It’s his third time with it this year.
Fortunately, he seems better already since this morning and is starting to willingly eat and drink more, but just doesn’t want to use any silly cups or straws right now.
What a horrible trifecta of teething, Covid, and ear infection.
