I keep getting fluid in my left ear and get put on antibiotics now i need a mri of my brain what is the treatment for adults tubes?

ENT : You may require myringotomy or tube decompression however studies show an ENT should make the diagnosis because the fluid buildup could be from otitis media or other pathology such as a perilymphatic fistula. The perilymphatic space is connected to the subarachnoid space via the cochlear aqueduct hence necessitating the brain MRI. Don't worry you'll be okay get your MRI follow up with smart ENT.
