Time for an ENT visit?
ReplyDeleteWe're holding out on the ENT visit until after she's 18 months. Next month we go to our Immunologist for an extra vaccine which is supposed to help since she's not building up antibodies to the normal ear infection culprits on her own. If things don't improve within a month or two after that, then it'll be time for the ENT and tubes. :(
