Tonsils & grommets and our kids
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
Is your kid struggling with a consistent blocked nose? Hearing problems? Or persistent sore throat and coughing?
Removing tonsils or adding grommets might be the worst thing to do! And stay away from earbuds and DIY methods.
Our in-studio guest this week, Dr Ali Makepeace, Ear Nose & Throat specialist from Johannesburg, gives us her expert advice on tonsils, grommets, runny noses, sore throats, and winter sniffles.
She also helps us to better understand why the usual remedies are not always the best avenue to follow and might be doing more damage.
Most symptoms in our kids are often misdiagnosed, and Dr Makepeace explains what common causes result in many of our kids' ear, nose & throat symptoms.
