First ear infection

I have since learned that after kids get a cold it is common for them to get an ear infection. Asher has still been a little irritable even after getting over most of the symptoms of his cold last week.I thought maybe he was getting top teeth b/c Matt got his teeth within weeks of each other. however, yesterday his eye started watering and having some discharge. Apparently, this is a symptom of an ear infection. I called the Dr. since we are leaving for out of town on Thursday just because I did not want him seeing some random Doc in Canada. Good thing. He has a mild ear infection and he would have been even more miserable in a few days.
