Babies and Children - Grommets, Tonsillitis, Adenoids

I see a lot of babies and children with ear infections, tonsillitis and swollen adenoids who are on waiting lists for grommets or to have tonsils or adenoids removed.  These children often mouth breathe because their passages are congested, often sleep poorly and usually have colic, asthma or eczema.  These are all signs of allergy and I recommend doing an allergy test and avoiding or reducing the allergic foods and environmental triggers.  This will  avoid the need for grommets and removal of tonsils and adenoids and will undoubtedly improve health and wellbeing.
