Barbara,



My son is 6 (he will be 7 in January) He had his last set of
ear tubes in when he was 4. He no longer has them due to them
falling out.We have had a minor fluid build up that was cleared
by antibiotics. But no ear infections. He hearing is checked
regualarly and we have had much success. We use ear plugs when he
baths and swims. You know your child more than the doctor's go
with your gut feeling.
