Need an advise

Tweet

Hello All- I need some professional advises for my children. Please do give your advises if you are a physician or went through similar situation as me. I have two children who are 1years old and 3 years old. I will explain their situation in here. 1 year old: When she was born the doctor told us that her kidney is enlarge meaning she has polycystic kidney disease. After she was born I was told to see an specialist and the first nephrologist specialist I went to immediately suggested her to go through kidney transplant which I thought it was a quick and hast decision. So I changed that doctor to another one in order to get a 2nd opinion. To my surprise the 2nd doctor told me at the moment she only needs to take the high blood pressure medication as her blood pressure's high. I was ok with that eventhough most of the time her blood pressure was taking she was crying because she wasn't please with the tifness of the machine. She's been taking this medication for a year now and her last visitation I've asked the doctor can we stop the medication now or is it a lifetime and his respond was continue to give her. I'm not a medication fan so I am against the idea of giving my daughter a medication that can have side effects through her life cycle. So far she's doing great, fit and active. I feel like I need to do more research on this topic but don't know where to begin. Even if I have to travel across the country in order to find a good and caring doctor...I WILL. Please let me know if you can HELP! 3 year old: My son has always been at home until he was almost to turn 3 years. Where by then I took him to a daycare and after 2-3 weeks later, he started having continous running nose for approximately 3 months. At some point, it became infection where I had to take him to doctors. The 1st doctor told me he needs a surgery so I refused and went for a 2nd doctor for another opinion. The 2nd doctor prescribed him medications to stop the infection and running nose which it did for almost 2 weeks but now that his medication had finished its back again. He has an appointment soon and I'm thinking what can I do? Should he undergo the surgery by removing his tonsil and nostril or should I let the doctor keep prescribing him medication after medication??? Your advises are more than welcome!
