A member asked:

My son has dark red and light red drainage in his left ear... he has tubes in both ears. just saw ent on thursday and was ok. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually infection: Having myringotomy tubes in place prevents infection from staying in the middle ear space. When an ear infection occurs it will drain out the ear canal. Usually this is treated with antibiotic drops.
