My ears, my ears!

This poor little girl has an ear infection in both of her ears. She has had what we thought was a bad cough for a couple weeks now. I thought about taking her to the doctor, but didn't really think they they would do anything for just a cough. I realized she has had a pretty runny nose and mattery eyes too and my friend brought up the fact that it could be an infection and won't go away on it's own. I feel terrible for waiting as long as we did to take her in, but she wasn't even crabby throughout this whole time to make us think anything other than just a cold was going on. Poor girl:( We now have some great pink medicine, that must taste really good since she downed it all, that should be getting her back to normal in no time.
