Lime, was it Cipro drops? I had a stubborn ear infection a few years ago and a week's worth of drops were $200. The first antibiotics didn't work, so that's why they went with Cipro. But they did start out with the regular antibiotics.

Liquid gold...that's what my stepmother called it back in the 80s when my youngest brother had constant ear infections.

I hope your little one gets better (and stays better) soon.
