adnoids & tonsil to be removed

[Guest guest]

My son whos 5yrs old was thought to have then they were

unsure its been 1yr 4months he saw Infectious Disease Specialist at

University Hospital in Syracuse NY they were left puzzled had no

answers except for because no one really understands this

syndrome. Well my son has had labs drawn approx 30- 35 times in

this time frame Urinalysis done Approx 5 times a couple chest

xrays. Well The labs showed high levels of C-reactive protein while

he had the fevers and nothing the DRS could do. At this point in

time I have had about enough. My child has no fear of needles and

knows the lab people to well. To make a long story short we decided

to take him to an ENT to rule out every possibility including

allergies. They ran more labs for cat scratch fever and allergies.

They also had him do a CT of the sinuses. THe allergies came back

positive for dust mites, molds, oak trees and some weeds. Cat

Scratch was neg. But to are surprise the CT helped shed a little

light on s problems. has severly enlarged adnoids and

possibly might need the tonsils removed to.as a result from these

enlarged adnoids he also has severe sinus problems that we are going

to wait to see if they clear up after the adnoids are removed. He

has a permanent infection in the sinus are they beleive when it

flares up he gets the temp the puffy eyesand hes down for 4 days.

Its amazing it took this long to get answers but we aren't positive

this caused the fevers we are hoping this did. I hope this helps

some parents that have not had much success I would reccomend a CT

of the sinuses. Amber McRae
