[QUOTE="buddy, post: 500286, member: 12886"] I dont know about the tonsils/adenoids etc... but I would probably go for the tubes, even two years can be enough time at his age (his head and neck will grow and the tubes will change angle in that time) that it could be just that he needs it one (more? has he had them before??) time. antibiotics will not get rid of the fluid build up. Only helps if it gets infected. I would be of the mind that reducing one more issue is worth the tube surgery even if it is just in case. For that day his one ear was OK but with fluid and pressure that can vary day by day. I have monitored kids daily for parents when I worked in a school where no one else knew how to do the hearing tests, I did full threshold testing, not just a screen (adn even had an audiology sound proof booth, that was quite a district... they bought the booth for a seclusion room! then found the public was upset, duh so it became my office, LOL ) There was often a 20-30 dB fluctuation in the speech range.... No way to tell if that is true for V of course unless teh nurse has equipment, and would be willing to do weekly screens or something... but she probably would not do threshold testing to see where he actually was.... not sure if they she would be trained to do that. Some people find adjusting diet helpful, that is.... for some mucous building foods, or foods that contribute to allergies etc I dont know all of them, maybe others here do??? Getting rid of dairy for my niece stopped all of it. NO more ear issues and also, by the way no more excema for her. Now she is 11 and can have cheese and other dairy once in a while no problem. I would for sure ask the dev. pediatrician. too.... sometimes more brains can help sort thru it all. [/QUOTE]
