Hi Jocelyn. My name is Lucinda. Thankyou soo much for the response. Unfortunately I am not in Melbourne but a in Sydney. If only I were in Melbourne!! I'd definitely bring him in. Your thoughts sound excellent. Obviously I don't want Oscar on a roundabout of antibiotics. Can't be good for him. And I suspect that if this keeps happening we'll be heading to the ENT and before you know it there'll be talk of grommets etc etc. If I can prevent what could potentially be an unnecessary intervention (in the sense of the root cause problem being remedied) then that would obviously be preferable. Will have to follow up on seeing a naturopath I think.
