hey gals
so went to the ears,nose, throat specialist today and he says its not really normal for a child of 20 months not to have had a dry nose at all and also that he always has his mouth open and cant use his nose to smell or breathe so he sent us for sinus exrays. He called me back after looking at the xrays saying he thinks cam has a combination of large adenoids, large tonsils and allergies and that he currently has sinusitus ( a cold which has infected his sinuses so they are inflammed)
I think i jinxed him last night after raving to you gals how well he was as he had a bad night, i went in to check on him as he was coughing and he was trying to sleep on his vommit! poor thing! so we cleaned him up and heard him cough a few times in the night. I took him to school after the doc and they said he didnt eat lunch was grumpy and battled to sleep due to cough - poor little thing and he clung to me like he only does when he is ill..
so anyhoo - glad the ent could prescribe antibiotics which he did since cam had a fever last night and on the way home from school!
so we have him on antibiotics and the doc suggested that we wait for cam to get better then cut the adenoids and tonsils out..
We will most likely do it in 2 or 3 weeks time, but i will investigate and research a bit more before we commit..
Doc says he has 3 kids and one of his had them cut out and it gave her instant relief..
I would love him to be able to SMELL and breathe through his nose, but hes never been able to!!! so considering it very seriously.
The op takes half an hour and he would spend half a day in hospital if all goes well...
anyhoo, i only worked half a day so it was hectic!!!
sorry i cant comment on all but dh is hovering to play his game on the pc XXXXX
