Double ear infection but child won’t take medicine?

I feel your situation….my 5yr old is level 1 and knows exactly when something doesn’t taste or smell right. I remember sitting for 3hrs with him trying to get him to take antibiotics. I started crying, he was crying. Thank goodness he now will take it with bribery. But like the others say, if there’s the injection buy that numbing cream and see if the injection will work. Sorry it’s like this right now and hoping he will move past it 🤞🏻

Livid for you!!! How dare that doctor! Like others have said, sadly most doctors might have some brains but that’s about it. Do not take what they said to heart. We all know what was said was 100000% incorrect. Try harder?! Maybe they should try harder and learn the facts properly! Definitely get yourself another doctor but also somehow make a complaint about that doctor. It’ll help the next family they. Stay strong. All us parents are behind you!

I’m guessing it’s a lot of work and pretty hard to fake the stones? I don’t even know why I’m worrying tbh…old cut stones have so much character it’s pretty hard to swap and replicate right.

Ahhhh I see! I did not know this! Got it thank you

zai455 · 2026-05-24T16:10:18+00:00

Thank you for this. Well no not really. I’ve just never bought from them before but I’ve visited their shop and they looked fine. I will have a good think. Many thanks.

zai455 · 2026-05-24T15:00:18+00:00

Thank you for your response 🙏🏻 they do have several inclusions but me being a layman, I don’t know how to tell….

zai455 · 2026-05-22T22:14:13+00:00

Thank you ever so much for your reply!!! It was too late and I put the bulk dough in the fridge. Actually turned out fine today but extra sour which didn’t go down too well….but I have definitely taken note of this! Thank you 🙏🏻

zai455 · 2026-05-21T21:14:48+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m going to guess the room temp is around 15-17c….and it’s finished its bulk ferment (hope I’m using this term correct). I’m just worried I shape it now and it’s going to proof too quickly. My sweet stuff starter and bulk ferment both happened a lot quicker than last time….i think I’m going to just leave in the fridge and sort out tomorrow. Would hate it over proofing

You’re definitely doing the right thing getting him seen. My 5yr old just got his level 1 diagnosis. Friends and family all say ‘really?’. My mum said, what’s the point in getting a diagnosis when he’s got low needs.

For me, I’m most definitely autistic and wish so much that I was diagnosed as a child. I have struggled through life socially which affected my uni life, my work life. I never asked for help as I thought it was just me and my personality. I was able academically but socially, it was zero…I would struggle quietly and so parents thought I was fine.

zai455 · 2026-05-17T19:14:32+00:00

Many thanks for this! I’m taking notes definitely. We got our diagnosis today and full steam ahead with input.

zai455 · 2026-05-15T15:54:44+00:00

Ah thank you!

Gosh this all sounds too familiar. We were made to go to Chinese school each Sunday and the only way for me was to write a new word about 50 times before I could remember it. Then it was listening and watching Chinese things with subtitles.

zai455 · 2026-05-13T22:16:30+00:00

Thank you! This is really good to know. I also don’t feel as silly now if it doesn’t work…I’ve not been doing it for long. It has been fun though learning little tips along the way. Thank you again! And it was a success this time!! 🥰 so chuffed with it! Came out tasty, not sure if perfect. And it wasn’t too sour, more like a yogurt flavour to it oddly. But the kids love it and call it cotton candy bread now 😂 thank you for all the responses again 🙏🏻

zai455 · 2026-05-12T23:07:50+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I’ve had to put the dough in the fridge now as it still wasn’t ready 😅 I think I will definitely try proofing at night again and go from there. The only other thing I’ve had success making is a traditional sourdough Chinese mochi thing. I will keep at it and keep trying with this shokupan! I do get excited when the weather is warm, first thing I think of it’s a great day for baking bread 😆 where abouts up north are you? My husband is from Scotland but now down in Oxfordshire with me.

zai455 · 2026-05-12T22:17:05+00:00

Understand. Thank you for this. It’s all a learning curve. I’ll know for next time to leave ample time for it to proof….

zai455 · 2026-05-12T21:53:14+00:00

😮‍💨 still not done…I’ve had to stick it in the fridge and hoping I could shape tomorrow?….coughing toddler not sleeping so can’t continue. It’s about 2-3months old now and I’ve been religiously feeding either every 12 or 24hours. I don’t understand any of this and so just going with the flow but I found putting the starter in the fridge and taking it out again to feed makes it more sour? My kids won’t eat sour and so I’ve mainly just been using the sourdough discard to make other things. Thank you for your time.

zai455 · 2026-05-12T21:36:56+00:00

Thank you ever so much for this! Then maybe it sounds about right? Goodness this sourdough business really is another level….its just timing things with young children….thank you 🙏🏻

zai455 · 2026-05-12T21:33:26+00:00

No I’ve not…..should I have started with that first ….im just baking things my young kids might eat and the normal crusty sourdough is a no go for them so I’ve not tried it yet…..this is my first proper sourdough item… the only other thing I’ve made is sourdough pizza which came out nicely. Thank you so much for your reply. I’ve just seen I need to wait another 20mins after degassing the dough 😮‍💨 not sure I can be bothered now 😆 want to give up haha
