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.

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.

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...

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
