Update on YG's DD2

31 replies

Took DD2 to see our GP this afternoon.
She has so much cattarh (sp) in her ears that her ear drums are opaque (should be translucent).
The inside of her nose is infected, hence the massive nosebleed last week.
So we are back on the mega antibiotics.
The cattarh could be causing hearing problems which may then be contributing to the behaviour issues. It is possible it is a type of glue ear, but that can't be diagnosed fully until she has had the antibiotics and the doctor sees her again to check if the cattarh is still there. So for now, who knows.

YG - glad you got a diagnosis - hope it clears up with the antibiotics and she gets to enjoy her birthday!

Aww, only just seen this bless her. We had to take DS1 to the gp at 10pm last night as his temp was 103 - he's on antibiotics now for tonsillitis, not fun is it

DD1 did tell me that she'd had some major strops but no, she didn't mention 40 minutes at 3am - poor you, good job you didn't have to go to work next day.

(Thank you so much for organising that for her btw )

They still do grommets JanH. YG , DS and I are veterans of the ENT department since he failed his 7 month hearing test (I know they don't do them now). He has had quite bad glue ear and has had grommets etc. We were back there for his 6 month check up last Monday and hit the milestone of him going for his hearing test on his own - rather than me go in with him and take DD who is only slightly younger than your DD2 and a slightly disruptive influence. So if does comes to that feel free to ask any questions etc.

Hope DD2 has a lovely birthday.

you would be amazed ast how quickly they recover when they have grommets fitted.
hopefully though she will be a lot better after her course of abs and if she does need to see the ent, the treatment alone will probably help and the problem may never come back.
there is another treatment too which can help
