Infant ear infections - Page 3

Thanks for the advice. We have one 'core' pediatrician, but when she's not available we see others in the office, and all agreed he had ear infections. And of course there was the ENT who agreed to ear tubes, and the audiologist who confirmed he had fluid build up and lose of hearing.

Little one has been happy and healthy since the tubes. A couple very minor colds. Longest stretch we've gone in a while without him being sick. And he's much happier, and finally gaining more weight (he's between 5 and 10 percent for his age). Not that all of it is related... I'm just happy he's doing great.

I think, like Ritalin, etc., tubes in ears are used WAY too often, but it seems like it was the right thing for your little one for sure! Glad he's so much better!
