How many sets of tubes can a child get before doing something different for ear infections?

Family practice. : Usually children will grow out of need for further tube placement. F/u with your dr. Low dose antibiotic and decongestant are sometimes helpful. Could be allergies.

no set number: There aren't really other treatments besides antibiotics, prevention by not exposing a child to cigarette smoke or limiting daycare attendance, or ear tubes. After a couple sets of temporary tubes that usually last about a year, many ents consider placing more permanent tubes that can last years.
