What are the pro's and con's of having tubes put in your child's ears?

To do or not ??: The "tube" is a temporary substitute for the normal eustachian tube that malfunctions in infants.With the kids et blocked, mucous made by the ear walls accumulates & acts as food for germs leading to infections.Tubes prevent the mucous from accumulating. No food= no infection.A few kids will react to tubes with chronic drainage& they can fall out too soon. U also need to put kid to sleep for tubes.
