K.G.
My 5 year old son is getting tubes put in, tonsils and adenoids taken out.. On June 1st... My son has had 2 ear infections since December... The ent did a hearing test, saw there is fluid in both of his ears as well.. One ear drum is bulging.. My son has also had a on/off cruddy cough for about 3 months(no other symptoms).. He doesn't have allergies, and was put on 2 different antibiotics.. Did nothing.... His tonsils are huge and when the ENT went down my son's nose, he has mucus covering his adenoids... All are connected.. I am waiting 5/6 more weeks before I do the surgery (we have pre-op visits and they are sending him for blood work).... Just wanted to tell you my story :)
I have lots of friends that their kids had tubes put in. NO DOWN TIME for any of them!!!! The tonsils is where the town time comes in..
Good luck!
