Hi @kj1892, I'm so sorry your daughter is suffering so much, that sounds horrible. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what else you could try beyond visiting an Urgent Treatment Centre or keeping in close contact with your GP for some better symptom management.

Has there been anything that's helped her get any relief? Awful for her, but incredibly stressful for you too I'm sure. I hope you're coping okay through it all.

Hi thanks for your reply. We’ve tryed everything I had her in a&e on Tuesday and they sent us home saying call you drs back and we’ll try an expedite it again but it’s down to the ent department the a&e dr and the go have Borge said she needs them  removed but we have to wait it’s impossible and to top it off I lost my eldest daughter at 3 years and 9 months old back in 1996 I am actually going through level 3 high intensity ptsd counselling now

@kj1892, I'm so sorry to hear you lost your eldest, that must be incredibly traumatic for you especially with all that's going on. I'm glad to hear you're getting some counselling for it, I know it's a long and rocky road with PTSD, but hope it's helping. 

It sounds like you're doing everything you can for your daughter. Perhaps some of our other members might have some advice and support to give too

I'll be keeping all my fingers crossed you can get a cancellation or the doctors can expedite the ENT appointment so she can start feeling more like herself again.
