The nurse we saw today said he probably has a lot of fluid back there most of the time, post nasal drainage that we just can't see. I'm not super jazzed for more tubes but I definitely don't want fluid affecting his hearing so if the ENT recommends we'll do it. It was miraculous how much it helped when he was one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/repeat-eardrum-perforations#post-2883414 Mon, 06 May 2019 10:52:28 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2883414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS (8 months) had his ear drum rupture over the weekend. He had some congestion but no signs of an infection until I saw his ear draining. Turns out he has a double ear infection. I felt terrible! </p> <p>If your LO had tubes previously they may need to put in a new set. I would go back to the ENT since he has a history. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/repeat-eardrum-perforations#post-2883384 Mon, 06 May 2019 05:07:45 +0000 periwinklebee 2883384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience, but i hope your son feels better soon and you are able to get in quickly to the ENT if the ped recommends it :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/repeat-eardrum-perforations#post-2883361 Sun, 05 May 2019 19:09:24 +0000 bhbee 2883361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have this happen? My son just had his second rupture in 4 months. I haven’t talked to pedi yet. Both times we had no heads up on the ear infection until it was nearly ruptured/draining (he did wake up in pain last night). He had tubes from 1-2.5ish but then seemed much better on infections. </p> <p>I know a rupture isn’t a big deal, but wondering whether it could affect his hearing over time and whether we need to see the ENT. I’ll ask pedi but thought I would check for experience here too! :silly: </p>
