<p>Still don’t know if he found what he needs. Are the drops specific for ears or do you use what is out there for athlete’s foot and somehow get it in the ear?
He is 6 hours away so I have not seen the discharge but S said it is colored and gross. Gross enough that his friends told him he had to go to the Dr. It also has an effect on his hearing. He is my kid who is poor at giving me information. That is what is driving me crazy. If he was in town I would have gone to the Dr with him by this point. He was told to keep the ear dry and put cotton inside when he showers.
I think later this morning I will stop by our local pharmacy and see what they have and talk with the pharmacist.
I am all for having our kids take charge of their own affairs but it is at times like this I wonder about this boy of mine!
Plus it is frustrating to have him relay info from the Dr. Not sure if the infection has always been fungal or if it has progressed to this. S swam in a river in Africa and flew the next day. After the flight he began having ear problems. This has been going on over a month. Frustrating!</p>
