I could use some input on this subject. My Granddaughter was born with a ear problem and had to have "tubes" inserted in the ear canal. The medical people have said, 1. "they will have to be removed when she is older." 2. "They (the tubes) do not need to be taken out. Tissue will grow around them."
However, they do tell us that my Granddaughter should not allow water to enter the ear. Now here is the problem. The Granddaughter is twelve. She is constantly getting ear infections. The medicos always prescribe an antibiotic, and prescribe two drops per ear three times daily. But they won't prescribe a prescription unless they see her. The family has no health insurance, thanks to the economy, and cannot afford a $100.00 office visit to get a prescription for a antibiotic. I keep telling her to put two drops of the CS I made for her, but she is hesitant. Has anyone had any experience with this sort of problem? Does anyone know if two drops of CS will cause any problem with her ears? I'd appreciate a quick response, please. Thanks, John.
