Can a child at age 8 months have tubes put in her ears? She is on ear infection # 6! We do not smoke and I try to keep our home as clean as possible. Her dr has prescribed just about every oral antibiotic with out luck. She has since been given 3 shots (antibiotic) 3 days apart. I m very worried about her hearing and the start of disabilities.
These frequent ear infections in a child occur when there is smoldering infection in the throat with enlargement of tonsils and adenoids. Also, if you have a family history of allergy then the chances of infection also increases. He is suffering from ATOM. Try to evaluate the adenoids and tonsils, antibiotics like Augmenting is helpful (you didn't mention body weight, so dose calculation could not be done). Also anti allergy like Montage LC will be helpful.
