Julz - need some advice please!!

Marilu,

With a ear infection draining puss I would definetly follow the ENT's advise and start with antibiotics - ear drops will not clear up the infection.
Serioius and recurrent ear infections should not be left as it could lead to permanent hearing loss.

Marilu I am not a doctor. I suggest that you take your lo to a gp homeopath. If lo has no fever you have a little time as long as she isn't in huge pain.

I dislike antibiotics but there is a place for them. I just feel that the homeopaths tend to sort such things out quite well.

I will pm you my doctor's number. He is in kendridge and he is great with kids and a gp.

Hi!!

Just need some advice please, and seen as I know you hate antibiotics just like I do, you seem like the best person for advice

Mignione finished her last course of antibiotics last week Monday. She was fine for 5days and then by Saturday she was all green snotty again. NOW she has a bad cough, green nose, and her ears are draining (grommets) thick yellow stuff (lots of it). So I phoned the ENT last night and he said that I must put her on antibiotics AGAIN. Now I'm wondering wether I should or not? I'm so scared that she's going to get middle ear infection again? But I also don't want to put her on antibiotics every second week!!!!

The ENT gave us ear drops to use, but her ears are so clogged I really think it doesn't even go into the ear. I'm giving her Creche Guard, Zinplex Junior (started that 3days ago) and also Pegasus for Mucous (only for 4 days now). I also use the Sterimar.

Should I give her the antibiotics or can I wait until she gets a fever? (That sounds really terrible but I REALLY HATE antibiotics).
