I had the same problem last winter with my son, he is now 14 months. Everytime the ear infection would go away another one would start. Finally his Pediatrician put him on a preventitive antibiotic (Gantrisin) and the ear infections stopped. And my son was much happier and as soon as summer began we took him off and he has been clear since. So I am hoping it dosen't start all over again. Good luck and I hope this winter is much better for you. Kym
