Hi there,
I am looking for a recommendation for a pediatric ENT. My daughter is 16 months old and has had a HORRIBLE cough for the past 3 months. It only occurs when she is laying down at nap and nighttime - she has no other symptoms. It is constant during these times, to the point where she chokes and gags. My sitter almost called 911 the other day and noted that in 27 years of daycare experience, she has never been more terrified of what she heard. We went through the same thing with our 4 1/2 year old daughter, who was diagnosed with asthma. However, the treatment for her has not worked. I am so frustrated and scared to go through this again. The doctor has said that the little one has post nasal drip and allergies, but I am not convinced so I'm looking to see a specialist. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Hello everyone,
I cannot thank you enough for all your responses and advice. We have two appointments scheduled - one with an ENT and one with an allergist/asthma specialist.
Thank you again VERY MUCH - your responses were incredibly helpful much appreciated!
Hi J.,I have a phenominal ENT Dr. He is at Mass Eye an Ear in Boston.His name is Dr.Hartnick ###-###-####.My son had pneumonia 11 times his first year of life.Dr.Hartnick found his problem and fixed it.He also put tubes in his ears recently.I can not say enough about him he is so wonderful.Good Luck.
Hi J.,
Not sure if Dedham is too far for you to go but Dr. Barry Benjamin at Dedham Medical Associates is awesome. His personality is a little quirky and I have found people either love him or hate him but he is really good. He is affiliated with Mass Eye and Ear. He put tubes in my daughter's ears when she was 18 months and then took her tonsils out when she was 7.
Good luck.
There is a great pediatric MD in Brockton - Dr. Cassie Walcott. She has a wonderful personality and offers natural alternatives before precribing medication. When my granddaughter had a really bad cough she recommended Elderberry. We also used homeopathy which speeded up the healing process.
I would go directly to Children's Hospital in either Waltham or Boston, Ma. They are soooo good there with the kids and know what they're talking about! Good-luck!
Good morning J.. Sorry to hear about your daughter. My youngest boy is the same age as your daughter and has had 7 ear infections in 4 months. We've been seeing Dr. Peter Ambrus in Quincy at Crown Colony and we're very happy with him. He's putting tubes in my son's ears this coming Thursday. Very good doctor and was highly recommended to me by my pediatrician. Phone # for the office....###-###-####. Address: 500 Congress Street, Suite 2A, Quincy, MA.
GOOD LUCK!
Dr. Mark Volk at Children's Hospital in Boston is Fabulous! He's been caring for my daughter since she was an infant. When he was finally able to discharge her from ENT last year (after 11 years!), she cried, knowing she wouldn't see him anymore. He's a brilliant doctor, and a wonderful person. Good Luck~
i'm not sure where you are but south suburban ent in weymouth & duxbury are great. we've dealt w/ dr ibraham & dr dharia. good luck!
I love the ENT's at children's hospital in Boston. They have all seen my daughter a few times. She is regularly seen by clark eliot at floating hospital for kids at New England Medical Center. He is also great. Good luck.
Sounds like her adenoids could be enlarged, my daughter had hers out and I used and ent in Quincy, his name is Friedensohn in the Crown Colony.
H. O.
Have you had there hearts checked?
