Hi Kymmy
Jake had recurrent ear infections from about 6mths - 12months and would be on antibiotics every 2 weeks. We tried the chiro path, for both his ears and his reflux, but had no happiness and ended up getting referral to Paed ENT. At my GP appt to get the referral he suggested I take Jake off dairy completely - we were already off everything except yoghurt bcs of his reflux - and totally avoid public pools. We tried this and his last ear inf was boxing day 2007. Went and saw ENT in Feb - was a 3mth wait and we were private, and she sent us to his hearing test. His hearing was borderline but he hadn't had an ear infection for 6 weeks so we were told to wait and see. Apparently if you are lucky their eustation tubes develop enough to prevent the backing up of fluids atc which cause the infections and it usually happens around 12-18mths. Well he has only had 2 ear infection since and that was a virus that screamed through our house and we all ended up with ear infections. Apart from that, touch wood we have been fine. HOWEVER if the problem reared it's ugly head again we would be in for grommets lickity split.
