Akshully (see! I can misspell without fainting when I want to), if the whole sentence is a question, the ? mark goes inside the " mark. It goes outside if only a phrase is in quotes.
Example: Do you think we should "get jiggy"?
It's a tricky one, but them's the roolz.
But you're right, exsie. The period always goes inside.
Did anyone else just have a Pat Saund*rs English class flashback?
Speaking of ear infections - if you have a little one who is having problems with them, you might try eliminating dairy products for a time to see if that helps.
In the wee ones, antibiotics may be given prophylactically, that is, to prevent any infection in the fluid collection from the cold.
I had a child with a chronic problem. Constant ear acheswhen she was 3 1/2 and went to pre-school. By the time she was 4 she'd had about 4 courses of antibiotics and there was no sign of fluid diminishing. Our Dr. sent her to an ENT specialist and he discovered her adenoids were enlarged acting like corks on the inside of her little throat.
He sent us to an Allergist to check for allergies, when none were found, put her on steroids for about 6 weeks and the fluid still did not dissipate. She needed tubes inserted to drain the fluid. Her adenoids were removed at the same time and there were no further problems.
If you have a young child who gets very frequent earaches, start looking for the cause, it's not just simple colds most of the time. Something else is going on in addition.

Another thing to consider:

Krys,
My youngest had to have tubes in his ears too. He had so much fluid in them, even when they weren't infected, that he couldn't hear.
Shell thanks for the link.
"Also, patients who are prescribed antibiotics but don't take the full dosing regimen can contribute to resistance. "
