In reply to the person requesting information about "tubes," my first daughter had tubes put in her ears at 18 months after having one ear infection after another (approx. 6 infections within a 3 month period). The results were wonderful. She is now 4 years old and has not had an infection since. Today I am dealing with my second daughter, 11 months. She has been on antibiotics for 30 days for an ear infection. Looks like tubes may be in order. However, I will wait and see because the risk factor of a general anesthetic should not be taken lightly. The actual ear surgery is nothing. Takes about 30 min. My four-year old was home eating breakfast 2 hours after surgery.
