They helped with the ear aches at the time, but the infections would eventually come back. I think it was just something I had to grown out of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-having-2nd-set-of-tubes#post-1971376 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 17:42:27 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1971376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: I didn't actually see them come out, but she went to the doctor 2 months in a row - one month they were there and the next they were gone. </p> <p>I did hear about the smell they might have - that kind of concerns me, but I guess it's normal... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-having-2nd-set-of-tubes#post-1971287 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:34:55 +0000 Mamasig 1971287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son still has his 1st set of tubes. But he did get his adenoids out with that surgery. No problems and he breathes so much quieter now. He used to be really nasally. They told us that we may notice a smell from him mouth because if the scabbing from the adenoid removal. </p> <p>Did you notice that the tubes fell out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-having-2nd-set-of-tubes#post-1971240 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:18:16 +0000 Smurfette 1971240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: That is what everyone is telling me. I just don't like the thought of putting her to sleep. But I know it is the best thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-having-2nd-set-of-tubes#post-1971223 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:12:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1971223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: thanks. I will say, I waited to get W's first set of tubes because I was so scared about it, but it's the easiest and fastest procedure you can get for them. It's definitely unnerving to have someone else take your baby from you, but it's literally 15 min from the time they take them back to the time they call you to come get them. She was back to herself later that day, once the anesthesia wore off. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-having-2nd-set-of-tubes#post-1971211 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 16:08:01 +0000 Smurfette 1971211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but my co-worker and a friend both said that adenoids getting out for both their girls was the best thing they ever did. They are the only people I know that have had it. </p> <p>R is getting tubes in a week and I am super nervous about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-experience-with-having-2nd-set-of-tubes#post-1971171 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 15:54:02 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1971171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just found out that DD1 has to have tubes put in again. She had them put in last May after having constant ear infections from 4-14 months old and it was night and day difference for us. Usually they only stay in about 6 months, but hers stayed in for over a year. As soon as they fell out, the ear infections started again. This time, they said that they might take out the adenoids as well, and for some reason that scares me (because of the recovery time maybe?). I'm also worried about having her go under again...</p> <p>For those that had tubes more than once - was it harder the 2nd time? </p>
