Hiya!

Just wanted to say kudos for following your own instinct/research. Doctors do over prescribe here. Cheers!

awwww… can’t believe doctors could do that, much more for a baby.

personally, i consider ear infection a lame diagnosis for doctors who don’t know what’s wrong with the baby. even if i never had Khloe gone through any health problem, yet i always hear of EAR INFECTION as the diagnosis i hear 98% of the time when moms bring their babies for a check-up.

antibiotic should be prescribed if fever can’t be treated by tylenol or motrin. I am always advised not to give a baby younger than 2 years old any tylenol unless the fever is 101.9

if Baby Dynamo is okay and has no fever, then there’s no ear infection. that’s so strange to diagnose mild to acute without any basis. very confusing.

i wish dynamo all the best.. and to all of you there Weng.

a rule of thumb for me has always been if the baby doesn’t have a fever that prevents him from playing then we don’t go to the doctor… even if he has fever and he’s still playing he’s okay ;p

it’s his dad who’s been so praning…

hi cher – good for you that you already have that habit. little zach is surely safe with you. you’re right, it’s better to be informed before consulting a doctor.

in my case, i usualy do research(checking online and asking my uncle who is a doc all the way back home) first before going to the doc in korea then i ask tons of questions until the doc can explain everything in detail……docs in korea have a tendency to just give medicines without explaining how and why a sick person got the disease….it’s been my practice even before i got my little zach……so most of the time docs here gets surprised when i mention the medical terms in front of them…..it’s better to be informed before you consult a doc.
