20 month dd has glue ear - she has dwarfism so very common but it may just be due to infection though we've not noticed any. ENT doctor has prescribed 'preventative' dose (2.5ml per day) of trimethoprim for 3 months when she'll be reassessed to see whether she needs grommets. Usually we have very good doctors but this one was rubbish at explaining stuff and I have no idea what the trimpethoprim does (antibiotic?) or why she's on a preventative dose. Can anybody shed any light for me please? Thanks.
