Once you are home, you can take pain medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. They should help with the pain. Though this treatment may not be as effective as prescription medications, you can create your own solution of saltwater or one part water to one part vinegar. Warm whichever one you chose up to body temperature before pouring it in using a bulb syringe. Let it drain out afterwards. A little heat, such as a heating pad on low or a damp washcloth heated in the microwave, can help ease pain. Hold it to your ear while you're sitting up. You don't want to fall asleep on a heating pad, as you can burn yourself. Use these ear drops when you first notice itching. Apply them both before and after you swim. You will need to keep your ear as dry as possible while you are recovering from your infection. Tilt your head away from the water even while showering.

summary: Take over-the-counter pain medications. Make your own ear drop solution. Apply heat. Use over-the-counter ear drops meant for swimmer's ear. Keep your ear dry while it is healing.

Any chiles will work, but New Mexican, Ancho, or Californian chiles work particularly well. Make sure your chiles are red so your adobo sauce has its distinctive red color. Use a small plate to keep the chiles completely submerged. Soak for approximately 30 minutes. Reserve soaking liquid. On a high setting, combine the following ingredients in a blender:  Chiles 1 cup reserved chile water ½ tablespoon oregano ½ tablespoon cumin Half an onion 3 cloves garlic Traditional adobo sauce is often served with pork shoulder, but you can also use beef chuck or even chicken. Do not fully cook meat in this step — meat will cook fully in the next step.  Top with onion relish, guacamole, and serve.

summary: Lightly toast 3 ounces of dried chiles over medium heat in a saucepan. When the chiles are toasted, soak them in enough boiling water to cover completely. In a blender, combine wet and dry ingredients. Brown your roughly diced meat in a large skillet over high heat until good color develops on most sides. After meat is browned, add adobo sauce to meat and simmer until meat is fully cooked. Remove meat from adobo sauce and add to tortillas.

Many babies get upset when they are in need of a diaper change. The feeling of the dirty or wet diaper against their skin is uncomfortable. Waiting too long to change a baby’s diaper can lead to diaper rash, which is very uncomfortable.  If you are using disposable diapers, the diaper will begin to sag or appear full. If you are using cloth diapers, feel the outside of the diaper to discern if the diaper is full. Some disposable diapers, like Pampers Swaddlers, have an indication strip that turns blue when the diaper is wet. Check for leaking near the legs or above the top of the diaper. Peek inside the back of the diaper to check for a bowel movement. A baby’s nutritional needs change several times in the first two years of their life. Signs you should watch out for in a newborn include smacking their lips, rooting, or sucking on their fists. You can tell if your newborn baby has had enough to eat by their fists. If a newborn’s fists are closed and near their face, they have not had enough to eat. If their fists are open and relaxed, they are satisfied. An older baby may try to get into a feeding position or yank on your clothes if you breastfeed. They may become fussy, hit you, or turn their head from side to side. Babies, at any age, become fussy and cranky when they are tired. If they become too tired, they are inconsolable and difficult to put to sleep. You can also look for signs of sleepiness like yawning or eye rubbing. You should always be aware of signs that your baby is sick and not just fussy. If your baby shows signs of illness, you may need to seek medical attention.  Take your baby to the doctor if they have a fever over 100.4°F (38°C) and they are under 3 months or 102°F(38.9°C) if they are between 3 months and 3 years old. Seek help if your baby will not eat or drink. Look for signs of dehydration like less than 6 diapers per day or crying without producing tears. Make your baby an appointment if they have a cough that lasts more than a couple of days. Seek help immediately if your baby is having trouble breathing. Pulling on ears or a hoarse cry could be signs of a bacterial infection that may need treated with antibiotics. Trust your instincts. If you think something is wrong with your baby it is best to take them to a doctor. The doctor can make sure that there are no underlying issues that are causing your baby's discomfort. Although it's likely that your baby is just experiencing normal crying, it's best to err on the side of caution.
summary: Determine if the baby needs a diaper change. Decide if your baby is hungry. Discern if your baby is tired. Check for signs of illness. Visit your doctor if you can't identify a reason for the crying.
