Answer:

Thank you for visiting NetWellness.  Unfortunately, it is very difficult to make a recommendation for a treatment center as your daughter’s diagnosis is not a well-defined condition with defined recommendations. You might try contacting OSU Pediatric Otolaryngology at the link below, but I am not aware of anyone with specific expertise for this problem.

Best wishes to you and your daughter.
