Monday, after Demi's eardrum ruptured on Sunday, I took her in to the doctor. There was so much fluid in her ear canal that he couldn't even see the eardrum to verify any holes. Because of the amount of drainage, he assumed it had perforated and prescribed an oral antibiotic as well as a topical antibiotic for the ear canal (which was the primary source of pain after the perforation).
I accepted the oral antibiotics as a necessity, but I bumped up her probiotics to counter the damage to good intestinal bacteria. She was already battling yeast; I hated to give it an even strong foothold.
