persistent fluid in the ears. longer than three months. may be an indication for tubes since this can interfere with hearing predispose to frequent middle ear infection and delay speech development. please follow up with the ent on a regular basis to monitor this stagnant fluid and make sure your son appears to be hearing normally (turning toward your voice or sounds etc. ).
should we be concerned our son's ears are always full of fluid? . since my son was about 7 weeks old we have been fighting never ending ear infections. well since the weather has finally warmed up the ear infections have basically gone away. unfortunately every time since then we've been to the doctor (most recently for pink eye) each of them has said he has fluid in his ears but no infection. we saw an ent when he was four months old about tubes but the ent thought he might still be a little too young at the time. should we revisit getting tubes?
