DD had very blocked ears a year ago which had been there for quite sometime and the specialist put her on a high dose antibiotics for a week and it cleared up with no further issues. So if the natural therapies don't work, that might be worth considering before surgery if your specialist is open to it.
Um, maybe I'm wrong, but aren't grommets supposed to fall out??!
DSD had them done when she was six, at ten now the surgeon has said if the second one doesn't fall out by next year she will have to have surgery to get it taken out... Your ear isn't supposed to have a permanent hole in it, it just helps the fiuid drain when they are prone to ear infections....
Maybe the problem us when they fall out too quickly???!
We did get told that she may need a second set if the hearing issues continued after the grommets came out.
In the meantime - you could also make sure she wear searplugs and a cap when swimming, particularly in public pools, and if there are any smokersaeoynd, make sure it's not in the house and preferably not around her at all.
Myturn - yep you're right, I didn't realise that. But from what I've read, it's the 'last' option to go with getting grommets because there are all these natural alternatives.... I don't like the idea of my little one under GA anyway.....
Thanks guys, we'll try the ear candling next..... I will be at my health store tomorrow to get some. My DH needs some too as he has so many issues with ears we've been taking some homeopathic tablets seeing if that works, can't' remember name of them! Follow up appointment due next week with acupuncturist/kinesiologist.
