I saw your post before the header, we've had the same thing. First me, Kryssi, Briona; then 2 weeks later, Nathaniel, Kryssi, Briona.... with ear infections 3 out of 4 of them. Nat has a sinus infection now and has had the ABs for it since Friday but is finding that they aren't doing much difference and sleep is about the only thing he can do! He's past the worst, but it sure lingers for a long, long time.
So... the answer to your qu, I'm guessing, is probably yes. I hope you feel better soon tho! And oh my goodness, your ticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
