Son having ear tube surgery in 5 days. he's getting over a cold and now is pulling on his ears like they are infected. would this delay surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Keep the saline nasal wash, call the surgeon if you can, or have his doctor check him, this is an elective procedure, can be postponed for child 's best interest, good luck
