Dd2 (aged 3) has been up quite a few times in the night crying her ear hurts, we've given her medicine (nurofen and calpol)

Should I take her to newdoc today?

She's fine at the moment and last had some medicine at 4.30am but through the night she was waking every couple of hours at most crying in pain.

Yes, she might need a/b's. Hope you can see someone quick and not wait for ages x

Does she have a high temperature?

If you can control her pain and temperature with calpol and nurofen (alternating every three hours), then I think she can probably wait until tomorrow for the GP.

I'm going to take her to new doc as soon as we're ready (just waiting for the bath) she has got a bit of a temp now so I'll give her some more calpol in a minute.

Thanks everyone.
