Nothing to worry: You have fluid behind the ear drum and that did not clear with medical treatment Placement of tube is a safe in office procedure and it will drain the fluid and relieve your symptoms and tubes will eventually fall out; Discuss with your ENT and have it done if that will make you feel better
