ear infection/breastmilk question
Kmom wrote: Tubes weren't 'in vogue' when I was a kid. I had 4-5 infections a year until 15 when they finally yanked my tonsils which were so bad they were talking cancer. I was infection free (and my hearing went to normal for the first time in my life) until I was 23. I get 1-2 infections a year now. I'm still recovering from a nasty in March. I have a mild case of chronic mastoiditis and it takes a long time for my ears to recover now. My typmanogram is still totally flat. I LOVE my ENT here. It's two guys in Monroe and they are just the best. The one if very low-tech, I know if he says meds or surgery it is necessary. I hope I can find someone I like in Texas. It's stressful enough looking for an ob or midwife and pediatrician. Tubes were the best thing I ever did for Ben. Procedure itself was smooth-I held him while they gassed him, no IV as they never put him totally out-just gas, he was out of the OR and in recovery in 10 minutes and I was there when he woke up, nursed him and we were gone within the hour. One infection after tubes, which cleared up beautifully with nothing but Ciprodex ear drops-no systemic abx which I thought was GREAT! Tube fell out of one side, hole closed up immediately. I had tubes put in at age 6. One of my strongest early childhood memories is lying with my head on a hot water bottle on the couch and moaning. My tubes didn't fall out till I was 12, and I had only one major infection - when an ENT mistakenly told us they had fallen out when he couldn't see them, and I went swimming in the lake . . . I had ear infections throughout high school, too, and was on antibiotics 3x for ear infections in the 12th grade. It's a lot better since I left my teens, but I still get the odd one. My eldest hasn't had a single ear infection yet, in spite of having microtia, but it looks like the baby is following in my footsteps I think I'm getting an ear infection now. This'll be our third sick Xmas in a row Melania |
