I had a call this morning to tell me that the results of the nasal swab taken from Nia last week shows that she doesn't have pastuerella. However,(why is there always a "but" where Nia's health is concerned:?) she has a significant amount of Diptheroids present. We are assuming that the infection may well be caused by a foreign body somewhere in her right nasal passsage, in which case continuing with antibiotics will only manage the symptoms but not deal with the cause.. so I'm not sure where to go from here. Nasal flushing, or even just an Xray to try to see if there is anything there will involve another GA and she had a near miss the last time she had a GA. Suzzetta is going to have a chat with Kevin about it tomorrow and then ring me for further discussion. SO, all you knowledgeable people..Jane, Sooz etc etc any thoughts? Anti-snotty nose vibes please
