As most of you know the kiddo had ear tubes (alkong with a bunch of other surgeries) put in about a month ago. Her ear is now DRIPPING fluid....
I have a call into her ENT, anyone know if this is normal??

:shrug: I dunno, It is just the amount of drainage that is bothering me, she has a quarter sized spot on her bed, and it is still going, her hair is all wet and everything.....just seems like a hell of a lot of dripping. She has custonm made ear plugs that keep the water out, so that is all "inside" fluid of some sort.....

My son had tube for the longest time. When he did get an ear infection they would drain. Usually it had some blood in it. Talk about scary the first time! I was at the dr. office before they opened so that I could be the frist one seen.
Hope all works out. From reading all your post you have had a time with those ears.

yeah yeah
That sounds like EXACTLY what mine use to do when I use to get ear infections. And- my ear infections happened without water getting in them- it just could matter the way the wind was blowing and how hard, ya know? But that is what it sounds like- and the amount sounds like what I had.

Make sure to check for odor. Because that will be a telltale sign- also ask her if her ear itches like hell.

That happened with my son too. No one told us, we were on vacation when it hapened. It eneded up being an infection.

My son had tubes put in in March 06, when I saw his ear drain I freked out called his ENT, went and and everything was OK, she said it was draining because he DID have an infection, but that was a GOOD thing that it drained that's what it was suppose to do. THat the infection wasnt staying in the ear and bulging and causing pain. EVer since that one problem my 18mth old has been GREAT!

Hope it all works out!

I'm having tubes put in next week. :bawl:
I hate surgeries. But apparently I've never outgrown these things. It will be the second time in my life that I've had them.
