Hi..I have a 16month old son who has stayed sick seems like since birth. He had repeated ear infections which eventually led to him getting tubes. He continues to get ear infections that are hard to clear at times but also runs high fevers...which his dr seems to now be a little concerned with since sometimes there are no obvious symptoms or none that would lead them to believe he should have fevers so high. Waiting to see if they are going to refer him to an infectious disease dr.  He also has never slept well and I cant help but think his lack of sleep also plays a part in all of this. What are your thoughts and why should we do??
High fever and ear infection could be related to tonsillitis or infection of tonsils. His tonsils need to be evaluated as increase in size of the tonsils could often be related to such frequent episodes of catching cold. Some child Chat Doctor.  If the episodes are too frequent, surgery may be required, but not otherwise. Although it might seem that your child hardly sleeps, please be reassured that your child would get the sleep he requires, and you need not worry. Sleeplessness would be unrelated to the recurrent infections.
