Glue ear

Catrin has had recurring earaches and headaches. Pat took her to the doctor some time ago and got various stuff, but she didn't really understand what the doctor said to her. So yesterday we all went and crowded into the doctors small office. I explained that Catrin had headaches and earaches almost every two weeks. She asked if all was well at school, and it is, apart from multiplication tables.

Then she had a good look and woggled Catrin's head up and down, back and fore and side to side. She asked if we had to repeat ourselves when we speak to her, and I said we did, but no more than normal.

Then she said that Catrin has glue ear, which gives her earaches and sinus headaches. She wants us to get her ears tested by an ear tester, and has given her some homeopathic stuff to sort it out. She mentioned grommets, but doesn't want to plough ahead with that unless it's absolutely necessary.

There we are. (I must get some book that will tell me the French for the eustacian tube. Nobody seems to know it.)
