TDLR; Can you recommend ENT doc that helped your toddler with ear infection and ear tubes and had positive experience? Anywhere in state WA would work
Long story: my son had constant ear infection + fever, so we met ENT specialist Doc X who advices ear tubes. Got it inserted at 2.5 years. All good for a while
After a year, he had bleeding from one ear; rushed to Doc X who said theres infection again and prescribed drops. All good for a while
After 6 months, on a routine visit to pediatrician, he noted that the tubes don’t look right as of that visit. Rushed back to Doc X, who said the tubes are not coming out right. So recommend reinserting it. So we reinserted the tubes at 4.5 years of age
Fast forward to 6 months later (last week), another bleeding incident. Rushed to Doc X who said it’s another ear infection and prescribed drops
As of today morning, my son still has drops of blood from his ear and I am very concerned
At this point I want to consult a different ENT specialist
Anywhere in WA state would work for us. We are concerned with the recurring bleeding (my son occasional says ear aches too)
