Hi, I have3 year old daughter who has repeated colds atleat 1 cold a month or sometimes 2. Had ear infection in May last year. pediatric Doctor treated her with amox. Now again in month of jan she had another, again treatedwith amox. After 15 days she had a cold again with ear infection. This was treated with omnicef . Immediately had a cold again after the15 day. pediatric doctor said she is having a viral cold again. So this cold seems like it is there for a month now since it was back to back. Now the cold is gone for 7 days now, but she wakes up with a stuffy nose every morning.Also compalins of itchy ears every now and then
Hi, Your daughter might need tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy if:1) she has difficult breathing while she is a sleep 2) 3 rounds of ear infection per year 3) 5 common Cold that required antibiotics per year she needs a careful evaluation of her adenoids and tonsils to avoid the development of rheumatoid fever due to recurrent infection as for now she could use an anti-histaminic to cure the runny nose and the itchy ears as Cetirizine once daily before going to bed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
