 [ Symptoms ] my 2 year old had his first ear infection less than a month ago our pediatrician says he needs tubes is not that early [ Disease ] i wish that i could address your question but without the ability to see your infection first hand i would only be making a blind guess not something that medical providers like to do my suggestion to you is to call your medical provider    someone who has seen this infection and is treating you    for patient specific advice this infection is being treated and managed appropriately so i cannot imagine that you will not get better
