My leukemia's back.

Certainly not the case with DD2, she never cleans her ears out, not even a rinse in the shower. She ruptured both her ear drums (from infections) in grammar school, one on the way to the doctor after DW noticed fluid in the other. She doesn't seem to notice ear pain, the second rupture was discovered by the nurse when she decided to look at the "non ruptured" ear first. She had ear tubes, had to have the holes filled in because they didn't do it themselves. Thus she doesn't put anything in her ears.

Now she has a lot of scarring in her left ear (outside and maybe on the ear drum probably from infections at the end of 2016??) which is why she was at the ENT yesterday. His scheduler wasn't there so we have to wait until Monday to schedule surgery.

Likely needs to have tonsils and adenoids removed? Repeated inner ear infections are often caused by bad ones.

I had both removed when I was in the 6th grade. It was a life changer! I was nearly deaf from the constant inner ear infection. I do have some scarring on my ear drums and have some hearing loss in my right ear from it.

Done a looooong time ago. Guess it didn't make any difference since she still gets ear infections. She will be 23 on Wednesday.

Did they take out the adenoids too?
