Tubes: Make sure the tubes are well placed and open to drain. They should work. Replacement is an option or a preventative dose of an antibiotic. All the best.

Ear infections : Going on antibiotic prophylaxis for the winter taking 1 dose per day would be an option. how old is your son, is he always sick with any other infections? May be you can ask his pediatrician to do some workup to check his immune system but he is under 5 years of age & attends day care that alone is a high risk & a reasonable explanation of his recurrent ear infections. Good luck.
