Many thanks in advance for reading my post. I am writing about my 4 year old son. I will give you the briefest history possible! He was born (full term) weighing 8.7 lbs. He had a difficult time regaining birth weight. Numerous ear and sinus infections as an infant/toddler. He had PE tubes inserted twice. He developed GERD at age two (literally out of the blue...he never had symptoms of it before). At the same time he was diagnosed with GERD he was given a sweat test (due to failure to thrive/abnormal stools). He was also tested for Celiac disease due to an elevated antigliandin IgG level. Both tests came back negative and he has been taking prevacid 2x's a day since then to control the GERD. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed when he was three, due to chronic strep infections. He has asthma and allergies. He has been hospitalized for breathing difficulty. For the last 6 or so months he has been fighting another sinus infection. He has been on 3 different antibiotics in the last 3 months. Our ENT did a CT scan and cultured the bacteria last week. The CT scan showed the ever-present infection and the culture showed pseduomonas along with another bacteria. The ENT has ordered another sweat test even though the first one was negative. The are also checking his immune system. It seems to me that (in children) pseudomonas infections are rarely present in healthy children.
I was wondering what your thoughts on this subject were...again, many thanks for your help.
