Hi Sandra! Since you mentioned finding a good doctor for your kids with ear, nose and throat problems and that you've all been sick, I was wondering if you've found that your children have had chronic bronchial problems or ear and throat infections. If so, it might be that they are allergic to bed mites. These can be a big problem for people living in Bali who have allergies. If this might be the case and the children seem to get well then quickly sick again, try having your children sleep in rooms downstairs, away from alang-alang roof, air all bedding in the sun and beat the pillows and mattresses well. Especially during and right after rainy season, bed mites are at their worst. Best of luck to you with your new life in Bali.
