Wow that is pretty extreme! DD1 seemed to have constant ear infections from 8m - 20m and our GP would not even consider any action until she was 3! We tried chiro, food exclusions, naturopath.....
Olive - the crap sleep or lack of any was often our only clue. it is seriously hard yakka.
mak have you done anything now shes 3 or has she grown out of them???
were getting a referal after the next infection or fluid issue, im demanding one, id just prefer she was looked at, it sucks taht your GP made you wait! our said after 5-6 infections in 12 months
Olive - we took some drastic action at ~ 18m which involved some long term medication. This is not for everyone and involved lots of thought/research but did fix things up. My GP is awesome so I was not unhappy with her reasoning rather frustrated at the anxst we were all going through. I have a great ENT who I rang to ask some questions and he was excellent too (he took my tonsils out a few years ago and is a surgeon who seeks alternatives to surgery rather than be overzealous). I did have a friend whose son was the same age and had grommets inserted several times.
She has had no issues since, well ear related, lol! Good luck!
