Ear Infection after tubes put in???
| Tue, 05-25-2004 - 8:46am |
Has anyone had this happen to their kids? My ds is 16 1/2 months. He started getting ear infections around 7 months of age. After haveing what my ped thinks is one long inf. from sept to dec he decided to put tubes in my ds ears. This was done in January. NOW...UGH!! My ds has his 2nd ear inf. since his tubes were placed. My pediatrician says that they will unclog his tubes or replace them with new ones. I really don't understand what the point is if they are going to get cloged again.
Does anyone know of a way to prevent them from getting clogged? I am making an appointment with the Ear, Nose, Troat Dr. today and going to ask them. Has anyone elses kid went through this? The tubes didn't fall out they got clogged. Thanks for any help.

hth, if you have any other questions ask away, as this is one of my specialties :)
My ped gave me drops to put in his ears if I noticed drainage, but he never got drainage to prevent it from getting too thick. Went from being well to them being clogged. He see's the ENT tomorrow. I hope they can unclog his. My ds doesn't really get too fussy when he is sick. Sometimes I don't even know unless he gets a temp. Thanks for the support.
