My 5 year old daugher has a swollen tonsil on one side shes had it now coming up 5 weeks she due to see a an ear nose and throat dr in 3 weeks. But I cant help but worry she seems fine in her self not been ill but I have noticed a harsh cough while she sleeps but she doesnt do it much. She snores etc too. The drs have tried antibiotics they havent worked but they have given her a new one to try because her tonsil got bigger with tiny little white spots on it, and her lymph node is up too, but Im not pinning my hopes that this stuff will work. Im basically going crazy and out of my mind I know Im probably worrying over nothing but does anyone have any ideas why this is happening or has been through it etc. just need my mind put to rest.

I had gone to a doctor that had continued to say, even after my followup with him, that I had ETD, and was sent to a specialty hospital for evaluation. I came back from the specialty hospital with more questions than answers.
After my hearing test came back fairly normal (I was only found to be borderline in my right ear with some diminished hearing), they assured me that I did not have ETD but TMJ. Though I have no history of clenching, or grinding of the teeth. When I tried to reiterate this to him, he said it was a misunderstood condition and often overlooked by physicians, and that he was positive that it was TMJ and to try ibuprofen for inflammation. But, I've gone through two sets of steroids in the past year that did absolutely nothing to alleviate my problem, and have no idea how ibuprofen will.
He also stated that by me trying to pop my ear I'm exasperating the condition, but it's because the ear is clogged I'm trying to pop it. I am supposed to see him again in about 4 weeks.
My question is, I'm willing to entertain for now that it could be TMJ, but could this really be an accurate diagnosis, and if so, what other things can I do besides ibuprofen that could alleviate my symptoms?View Thread

Do YOU think that the hissing sound has anything to do with what has been going on with my ear this past week? and do you think that it should subside? Please let me know what you think.
Many thanks!View Thread
