That's a bit disappointing for you. When you go to these visits I guess we expect an instant answer or fix, if you know what I mean.
I still think I would look at homeopathy as it seems you would have nothing to loose cos surgery is not an option at the moment. You can use homeopathy medicine in conjunction with regular antibiotics. It's much more holisitic in it approach.
I took Robert to a regular doctor who was also qualified in homeapathy. I took him cos he had hearing loss in the first few months but there was no infection in the ears. I'd never used any alternative approaches for the kids, except I'd had reflexology for fun a few times myself.
I was very surprised at the amount of questions he asked me and my hubbie about our family histories with alleriges. We both have serious allergies. I think the climate here doesn't help. He also took a detailed family history of other diseases, sibling allergies, our home environment, foods we eat, type of bed linen on beds, etc.
The funny thing is Robert seems to be clear of allergies, but my older daughter is only now starting to grow out of some of them. If I'd known about homepathy a few years ago might have saved myself a lot of grief and worry over Hannah.
I explained that I was taking a 'wait and see' as Robert was too young for ear surgery. He was very supportative and was not in favour of surgery either. Anyway he gave me two type of medication that were designed to work on the ear.
I'm just sharing my experiences here.... no pressure. Just reminding you there might be other things worth considering.
I hope the antibiotics work this time. I know infections and allergies can be very dibilating for children. I too had a childhood distrupted with allergies.
Lets know how both your boys are getting on.
