Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 For those who have had ear tubes put in their child due to constant ear infections...have you found that you child all of a sudden developed insomnia? Jillyan had tubes put in at the end of March and beginning in early May this insomnia thing kicked in (the evening before I started new job no less). Our pediatrician gave us a prescription for an antihistamine that is used to treat kids with insomnia. It worked for about 1 week and now when I give it to her it does not even phase her. She will stay up until 3AM and then finally fall asleep whether I give her the medicine or not. Also, something to pass along to those of you who have kids with the constant runny nose (Jillyan had choanal atresia - tubes in her nose for one month and 2 laser surgeries on both sides). Our ENT prescribed Nasonex nasal spray in March and within one week I no longer had to purchase the large quantity of kleenex each month!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 I believe that general anesthetic exacerbates Dylan's difficulties with his nervous system. It takes him a long time to get back to his usual state. He has never had ear tubes and rarely has infections, but does have the sleep problems, when his nervous system is out of kilter.
