Homeopathic medicine

We traveled to St. George, Utah yesterday (the southern-most city in the state), to see my father-in-law over father's-day weekend.

     It was a terrible idea since Charles-Winston has an ear infection. All he did the whole ride down was cry and sleep. He'd cry himself to sleep and then wake up screaming and either Benjamin or I would have to climb into the back seat to calm him down. We maxed his dose on infant acetaminophen and homeopathic infant ear drops; he was still upset. He ate a great deal less, had a slight fever and didn't fall asleep until 11pm - although he did sleep through the night (until 5:45) so that was good and he seems to be doing significantly better today than he was yesterday. It's a much needed improvement.

     I can testify that the homeopathic ear drops worked very well, he seems to be pain free after using them for two full days and only bothers his ear every once in a while instead of incessantly. I'm glad we didn't take him to the doctor and get prescribed antibiotics since it seems to be clearing up on it's own. Now that his ear is better, our only problem is teething. He's a happy baby now and back to his normal self.
