• Ear Infections
  Ear tubes help to protect from ear infections, middle-ear fluid (liquid behind the eardrum), and the hearing problems that go along with them. Most tubes last about 6 to 18 months, allowing many patients time to heal their ear problems. Most tubes fall out by themselves. The chance of a tube falling in, instead of out, is very rare. Tubes that do not come out after 3 or more years may need to be removed by Dr. Bankaci.

• Emergency Care
  Watch for post-operative bleeding. Bleeding is the most common complication after a tonsillectomy. The most common times for bleeding are initial 24 hours and 7 to 10 days after surgery. Often, bleeding stops spontaneously or by gargling gently with ice water. If these measures do not control bleeding, or if you are concerned at all, please call Dr. Bankaci or go to the nearest Emergency Room.

• Eczema
  Allergies affect approximately forty-five million Americans. Allergy symptoms appear when the body's immune system begins to respond to an otherwise normal substance as though it were a dangerous invader (called an antigen or allergen). An abnormal response by the immune system results in a release of chemical mediators, such as histamine. Those chemical mediators cause changes in the body, which produce various symptoms that are often annoying, and sometimes life-threatening. Symptoms that may be caused by allergy are itching eyes, sneezing, nasal stuffiness, facial pressure, nasal congestion and drainage, and recurrent sinus infections. Other common head and neck complaints include hoarseness, ear problems and skin changes including eczema. Allergies, however, can affect virtually any part of the body. Some allergy sufferers experience symptoms all year. Others find certain seasons bring on attacks. Allergy symptom control is most successful when multiple management approaches are used simultaneously. Minimizing exposure to allergens, managing symptoms with, and desensitization with immunotherapy (allergy shots) are all methods that can be useful in controlling allergic symptoms.

• Allergies

If allergies seem to be a likely etiology, certain prescription medicines may be recommended, if they have not been tried already. Testing for allergies may be offered, and take the form of a blood test (RAST testing) or skin testing. Each has certain advantages in specific situations. The blood test will be scheduled at an outside laboratory, and is particularly useful if you are taking certain medication. (such as beta-blockers for high blood pressure).
