What should I do for my 3 year old toddler who won't sleep due to an ear infection?

Answer by  wallaby78 (2293)

Try giving her some baby tylenol or some other age appropriate medication to help ease the pain. You could also ask your pediatrician to prescribe something to help her sleep.

I would give her children's tylenol, as this will help with the pain in her ear, and should help her to fall asleep at the same time.

Ask your toddler's doctor if he can prescribe your daughter medication for your daughter that will cause her to be able to sleep. That combined with the antibiotics will cause her ear infection and she will be able to sleep in absolutely no time. Make sure your daughter is in a comfortable bed and that she is tired before bed.

First of all, you obviously need to treat the ear infection. She should have already seen a doctor and be taking antibiotics. If this has been done, you can try giving her some over-the-counter pain medication for children, such as children's tylenol or children's motrin. You can also try feeding her foods that encourage drowsiness, like turkey.
