Ds (aged 9) has major surgery booked for 2 weeks time. However he has had either 1 long ear infection or 7 different ones since August. He's had 7 different lots of antibiotics, seen the ENT consultant twice and had a load of green gunge hoovered out of his ear twice as well. The ear infection goes but then within a week or 2 of finishing the antibiotics he's got an ear infection again. I phoned the hospital admissions department and they just said "hopefully he wont have another ear infection on the day of surgery". Which wasn't helpful. We have another appointment with ENT on thursday and I'm worried they will tell us again that DS has an ear infection. DS has had glue ear since he was 1, had 2 sets of grommets and now wears hearing aids.
