esme Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Our little boy (aged 2) has inherited my narrow nose, but he also seems to have sleep apnoea (where you stop breathing for a few seconds at a time whilst sleeping, along with having real difficulty breathing esp at night).We are going to arrange a private consultation as it has worsened lately (mouth/throat/nose seems very congested despite everything I try - nasal spray, karvol drops, vicks, raising head end of cot...) and I'm not sure how long we will have to wait for appt on NHS.Has anyone had similar experience with their child suffering from this and can anyone recommend a clinic or consultant? We were advised to go to the London Bridge Hospital by our doctor but when I did a bit of research nothing makes them stand out and it would be great to have a review by someone who has actually visited one of these specialists.Thank you, much appreciated.

Belle Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Gavin Morrison on Harley Street (also does appointments at the westminster bridge rooms, st thomas's, a lot easier to get to from here) has been fantastic with my son's ear problems. Highly recommend. Our insurance is pretty standard but covered it all no probs.

esme Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks all, we saw Abhi Parikh on Harley Street. He told us basically what we already knew (op not recommended unless affecting his hearing, speech, development etc.) but still causing real problems in the night so we will see how it goes...

chantelle Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 We saw Tony Jacob at Blackheath Hospital for my son's hearing problem and snoring. Was quickly sorted with adenoid surgery and grommets.
