My son had ear tubes put in 4 days ago and now his ear drums are bright red. should i be worried?

Normal : Some inflammation of eardrums after mt placement is normal. Most ENT doctors prescribe ear drops after surgery which should be sufficient to prevent infection. Call your doctor if still concerned.
