A member asked:

1-year-old has an ear infection. how can i help her sleep better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Comfort: Several options are available for comfort. A weight appropriate dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen may help. Heat, not burning but warm, held against the infected ear. Or if the eardrum is intact, putting 1-2 drops of warm but not hot olive oil may help reduce the pain. Also sleeping in a more upright position may help.
