The mother of the 2 year old complains that her daughter began "clenching" uncomfortably during nursings about 1 1/2 weeks ago. It isn't biting, and it happens at night as well as during the day. The child is in daycare 3 days a week, as of early Sept. She is eczema- and ear infection-prone; no specific allergens identified. She had a brief case of sniffles when the clenching started, but her mom doesn't think she has a current ear infection. The clenching is worse on one side than the other. The girl is quite verbal. Mom eats some dairy, not much. Suggestions?
