The last few days, Remingtons eating habits have changed.
He LOVES to eat and will suck down a 6-7oz bottle in minutes and demand more!!! But the last few days, he is refusing to eat. He will eat roughly 2oz a bottle every few hours. His poops are super dry and he has had a fever everyday for the last few days.
This morning, after he refused his first morning bottle all together - I knew something was wrong. I called his pediatrician and they instructed to bring him in. Sure enough- its another ear infection and he's dehydrated. He's back on amoxicillan twice a day for 10 days. They instructed us to bring him back in tomorrow if he is still refusing to eat. Today we are to not give him formula, instead fill him up with pedialyte to help him become hydrated again.
The last time he had an ear infection (2 months ago) he ended up taking 5 oral antibiotics, one shot antibiotic and then ended up in the hospital with a 104 temp and on IV antibiotics. Lets hope and pray that this ear infection goes away quickly and we don't end up in the mess we did last time.
