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.

Hi,

Your daughter might need tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy if:

1) she has difficult breathing while she a sleep

2) 3 rounds of ear infection per year

3) 5 common Cold that required antibiotics per year she need 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 Citrizine once daily before going to bed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
