Does my daughter need immunity help?

My daughter was diagnosed with Waldmanns disease last year which is a protein losing enteropathy. Her blood protein levels are constantly low because of this - albumin has been has low as 13 but more recently 24 (it goes up and down). Her total protein is 48. We get sent all of her blood results but never get to discuss anything but protein. I wondered whether anyone on here could read anything from her results and suggest a way forward. She's suffering every other week with ear or respiratory infections also that antibiotics don't seem to touch. The results below are always similarly high or low respectively

Urea - 7.9
Amylase - 111
Transferrin - 2.05
Zinc - 6.9
IgG - 1.77
IgA - 0.28
White blood cells - 4.4
Lymphocytes - 1.21

Im in the uk so I'm aware that how the results are displayed may be a little different to the US.

I think we need to see an immunologist but he only seems to be consulted through our Gastro specialist rather than is discussing anything face to face

Thanks
