[quote=Anonymous]I would ask your pediatrician for a list of recommended ENTs and call them all. It took several weeks for us to get an appointment. My DC was having recurring strep infections this past spring. They have an adverse reaction to amoxicillin, so they had to take other antibiotics which aren't always as effective, so we weren't sure if we were actually killing the infection. DC also has large tonsils, which causes a lot of mouth breathing. We went to the ENT and they wanted us to focus on flushing nasal passages with saline 1-2 a day to help prevent mouth breathing and reducing bacteria growth. With a 3 year old, I'd also use a nose freda to help clear congestion, since they aren't very effective at blowing their nose. [/quote]
