Polyps - Ainslie had surgery on Wednesday

[Guest guest]

This was Ainslie's 4th surgery for polyps, she nearly made 3 yrs this

time. Kim's observation about polyps growing whilst the child grows

makes great sense.

Ainslieis 10, basically her polyps grow back fairly quickly but we only

have the surgery to remove them when her chest is being affected. She

normally does not have a cough at all, only when her sinuses are totally

full and we know infected.

Ainslie uses a saline solution to help keep her nose clear along with

beconase to help keep polyps small and livostin which is a nasal

antihistime. I also give her a garlic, horseradish and marshmallow

tablet each day. These seem to be helping lengethen the space between

surgeries. I will have to question the doctors about polyps growing

when the child has a growth spurt - it does make so much commonsense -

duhhhh I should have realised it before.

Hope this helps.
