[QUOTE="donna723, post: 512068, member: 1883"] His mom smokes a little but she doesn't smoke in the house or around the kids. Of course when mine were young we smoked around them too - practically everybody did because they didn't know any better then. I think mine would have probably had the allergies, etc., no matter what. Before he had the tubes put in, my grandson had constant ear infections even though they never smoked anywhere near him. I know that it makes it worse to smoke around children but I also think that the allergies and the tendency to have narrower, more easily blocked eustachian tubes run in families. When my daughter had tubes put in when she was four, the doctor also removed her adenoids but not her tonsils. I begged him to remove her tonsils too but he wouldn't. Two weeks later her cousin had tubes put in and her doctor removed both her tonsils and her adenoids. Fast forward ten years and Allison was having constant strep infections, one after the other. She ended up having her tonsils out at age 15, a huge production number that involved much bleeding, throwing up, fainting, and an overnight hospital stay! [/QUOTE]
