Ask Dr. Taz MD
Q: My baby girl is 9 months and is overall healthy, except she was diagnosed with reflux and has been taking Prevacid since 2 months, and she keeps getting ear infections. She has just recovered from her 5th ear infection with help from antibiotics. She has taken antibiotics all 5 times, and of course she has had side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, fungus, etc. Our pediatrician sent us to see an ENT specialist but I am afraid that the only option for treatment will be going under general anesthesia to get tubes installed inside her ears. I would like to know if there is anything else we could do to treat and minimize this ear problem.
