A member asked:
My child's ear is draining. he has ear tubes and is on antibiotics. anything else to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear drops...: ...Are the treatment of choice for draining ears. Think of it as good news - if not for the tubes, the drainage would have collected behind the eardrum and led to infection with pain and fever.
