Luckily I'd made an appointment with The Little Madam's GP already. (I'd put in a claim with the travel insurance company because of our prematurely-ended holiday back in June you see, and needed the GP to fill out a medical certificate.)
I mentioned that TLM had had a rough night last night, and even though she didn't have a temperature, I asked if she could check her ears.
And guess what? Make Tea Not War and charlotte were right in their comments to my last post - TLM has an infection in her left ear.
Unlike some, I feel little compunction from the use of antibiotics - as long as it's being used to treat a bacterial infection, of course. So TLM received a squirt of antibiotics late this afternoon (as well as Pamol for the pain at bedtime) and hopefully she'll start feeling and sleeping better tonight.
Not that I actually wanted TLM to have an ear infection, but I was so relieved to know the source of her screams.
Fingers crossed for tonight.

The poor wee love! Ear infections are horrible. Lots of get well cuddles along with the antibiotics usually help!
Glad you found out the source of the problem.
I still think it may be the scary books you read to her but who am I to question a doctor..
hop it clears soon
Your poor wee girl... When the antibiotics start to work the swelling will go down and she will feel a LOT better
I'm just glad the antibiotics aren't cherry-flavoured - she hates cherry-flavoured medicine (and so do I).
