Alcohol........for the parents.
Tylenol for the baby. Recurring ear infections will need tubes. All three of mine had them. Saved countless trips to the doctor everytime they had a cold. Fluid from every cold/fever in head ends up in ear canal. Tube lets fluid drain out instead of pressure on ear saving little ones from ear pain and parents sleepless nights
Ahhh, yes, alcohol for the parents helps a lot.
