Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else's child has experienced the same and any advice welcomed.
My daughter had grommets and adenoid surgery at a year for severe glue ear with brilliant results (a year on), however following the surgery she is having persistent reacurring ear infections (easily every other month sometimes more frequent) which take a lot to get rid of. It is normally associated with colds, hey fever (she has always been a very snotty baby) but the Drs say that she is too young to have anything to dry her up. But I'm worried about the effect the ear infections are having and the use of antibiotics to the point she was nearly hospitalised with a recent infection and now she has abother a month on. The consultant has said she may have to have the grommets removed but I'm worried bout the effect on her hearing and will it mean her ear drum will purforate when she gets an infection in the future. She never had infections prior to the surgery. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. Thanks
