Ear Infections

When Chase was little, he got an occasional ear infection and after a quick round of anti-biotics it was done. Luke on the other hand, is a different story! He got the first infection in November, we got him on the anti-biotic and it was done. Then, in December, after he squirted a little body spray in his ear, there was another trip back to the doctor with a stronger, not as delicious tasting medicine. Unfortunately with this anti-biotic, he ended up throwing up his last dose (and dinner) and since then has been unwilling to take any kind of liquid, chewable or melt-away medicine. Now, the end of January we've got another pretty bad infection and are struggling getting him to take the medicine. We're literally holding him down together and forcing it in...getting him to swallow it and not spit it out is a whole other issue as well. I know for certain he won't get his entire dosage because some of it was wasted attempting to mix it in with some chocolate milk that he never drank. I'm anxious that this infection is going to go untreated and then here we go again, I'm hoping that the stronger, larger dose is enough to beat the infection for good!
