[QUOTE="donna723, post: 512122, member: 1883"] See, that's the thing ... when my kids had theirs done the doctor refused to do the surgery until all the infection was gone. My son was only five months old when the doctor decided to put them in the first time but it took another month on antibiotics for the infection to be completely cleared. I didn't think they would do the surgery if there was still an active infection going on. The tubes are very tiny and really aren't for drainage. They're supposed to equalize the pressure on either side of the eardrum so the fluid doesn't back up in there. I haven't gotten hold of my niece yet but I hope she was able to get him back in to the doctor to have it looked at. [/QUOTE]
