Cause For Child Suffering From Ear Infection?
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 occurs when there is smouldering 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 ASOM. try to evaluate the adenoids and tonsils , antibiotics like Augmentin is helpful ( you didnt mention body weight so dose calculation could not be done). also anti allergy like Montair LC will be helpful.
