Double check with your doctor but, as an adult I've been sufferin from ear
infections until I talked with my gastroenterologist. I asked him if my ear
infection might be caused by the gastro reflux (a very common problem in
cp-ers) and he upped me to higher level medication. Mind you this was after
also going on allegra for allergies and I also use ear drops called Fluocin
to relieve intense itching in my ears that is not caused my ear infections.
I also dry out my ears with q-tips in the morning after sleep as fluid tends
to accumulate. I've been ear infection free for 9 months which is record
right now. Just a thought, throw it by your doc.

Hi Lorri,
Amber suffers from ear infections - it is due to her more fragile =
health - due to the CP? She gets sick quickly and the fuild builds up =
in her ears and lungs. Amber had pneumonia in August - she had gone to a =
concert during the week- gotten soaked, and the went to the water park =
and got exhausted on the weekend. Pneumonia by Monday.
