Check out
this article we found written by Dr. Julie Wei from FauquierENT on why it’s so
important to care for your child’s ears once the ENT has placed “tubes” in your
child’s ear(s):
When Your Child Has a Draining Ear
One of the most common and simple procedures that
Otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat specialists) perform is that of
putting “tubes” in children’s ears. General and pediatric otolaryngologists
alike perform thousands of these simple and quick procedures every year, often
several times in a single hour! Most children who need and get “tubes” in their
ears are toddlers and those in preschool age. What continues to surprise me is
how often parents and caretakers are not explained to clearly about what to do
once a child has ear tubes in and then develop a wet or draining ear. Yes, I am
talking about yellow, green, white, brown, stinky (the smell can fill up a
room!), sticky, nasty stuff that not only runs out your child’s ear canal, but
then crusts around their ears and worse, perhaps down their cute cheeks!
