My poor little boy is sick! :(

Well Carter had a fever a couple nights ago but a dose of Ibuprofen took care of it and he was fine until the next night when he had a fever the entire night! Ibuprofen took it down but i could tell he didn't feel good. Yesterday morning all he did was sleep on me until 10:30 and then still took his nap from 2-4 so i took him to Prompt Care and lo and behold he has a double ear infection! I thought we were past that season! Poor guy! And have you tried giving a 2 year old medicine?!?!?! It's close to impossible! I have to pin him down and hold his arms down with my legs, pry his mouth open, shove the medicine in, and put my hand over his mouth to keep him from spitting it right back out. Can't they make like a candy or something to give him??
