Sinuses, ear infections and brachy

[Guest guest]

I just read in a post above how a baby having sinus problems and ear

infections could be related to plagio/brachy. Have other people

found this to be true?

My little guy, , has always sounded like he's snuffling and

almost permanently congested. He has also had more than one or two

ear infections. He has pretty severe brachy and it never occurred to

me that with his head being so flat in back and his forehead

protruding some that this could be putting pressure on his sinus

paths. I'm really curious to see if being banded will help him

breathe better too.

was casted 2 weeks ago yesterday and we're expecting his band to

be in any day now. I'm anxious now to get the show on the road.

I am sorry to say that my son has had lifelong congestion and being

banded for plagio did not help. I hope that it may be the case for

some, but it is not the case for all. His congestion has always been

a mystery though- I believe it is allergies. Ear infections on the

other hand, I do beleive can be related- from a craniosacral

perspective, if there are cranial restictions then this can lead to

fluid build up, and thus the ear infections. That is what I was told

anyways, from our therapist.

Hi Jules-

My son (9mo) who has brachy has been congested since i can remember

and has in the last month been treated for 3 ear infections (his first

ones), sinuses, a chronic cough, croup, and pnumnonia (sp) and was almost

hospitalized. I personally think his issues are caused from that as the

doctors cannot provide me with anyother reason why he keeps getting these

respiratory problems.

I think the research tends to support Dara. Check out the files and links sections. However, I would not be suprised if for some kids the only factor is the tort and plagio. Of course some of our kids do have true allergies and bands will not fix that.
