Are there good alternative therapies for ear tubes?

Ear tubes...: ... Are usually the solution, not the problem, and once they are in place the need for any treatment goes way down.

Do it or wait it out: When tubes are recomended it is a procedure that tries to mimic what the body does later--let air stay in the middle air space. Head growth and gradual change in the size & angle of the natural tube lets it stay open more, ending the retention of mucous that feeds the germs during infections.U can decide to wait & treat (or not) infections as they occur or do it.Patient comfort is the main issue.
