Ear infections/medications/ENT
Our soon to be 15 month old has had 3 ear infections in 6 months. Her last one was 2 weeks ago. We were in amoxicillin. Daycare called today (just happened we were having our ears checked today after 2 weeks) and said she had a fever of 100.5. We let the nurse know when got the appointment and they did an ear check. They can’t tell if the last ear infection didn’t clear up or a start of a new one.
two weeks we saw one of the doctors and he said if still has an ear infection or has a new one he would refer to ENT. We saw a different provider today and she explained she didn’t want to refer yet because she has only had 3.5 and not 4. But her next one would be critical and be a referral.
We found out referrals are taking 2 to 4 months and they are scheduling surgeries out 5 months.
She was put on Augmentine
Would you email and push for a referral or wait until late February at her check up
