History:
-Chronic Ear Infections from 6-12 months (5 infections). Treated with Omnicef, Augmentin, Cliacin, Rocephin Shots, Bactrim, etc. Also on Claritin/Singulair at 10 months for sinus/allergy issues.
-Myringotomy at 12 months, with 10 day run of Augmentin and 6 day run of antibiotic ear-drops post-op.
-2 subsequent ear infections from 12-16 months. Treated with Augmentin, Bactrim. Still on Claritin/Singulair for sinus/allergy issues.
-Second myringotomy and adenoidectomy at 16 months. Very infected sinus cavities and ears. 10 day run of Augmentin and 6 day run of antibiotic ear-drops post-op.
-Second myringotomy was due to complete 'plugging' of both tubes and continuing ear infections.
-RAST test showed Level 2 Egg White Allergy (all egg products removed from diet).
-1 day off post-antibiotic (11 days post-op): fever, effusion from ear, green sinus drainage.
-Doctor appt 13 days post-surgery (weekend) showed ear infection, sinus infection. Back on Bactrim for 10 day run. Singulair changed to Zyrtec.
-ENT wants to see child 1 day off Bactrim for a re-assessment. Staph has been mentioned, but a culture at 13 months grew no staph.
-We have 9 days left..thought on our next steps here or what ENT will suggest?
