Tubes in Ears?!
Question: My ENT Is deciding weather to put tubes in my ears or not..I go back in 5 months...I busted my Ear Drums in Summer 2006 and ever since it seems like we can not get rid of ear infections. I went to the Doctor yesterday and i have another ear infection. They said we need to call the ENT and tell him i have another ear infection...And i am losing some of my hearing. I am only 16. How do we convince the ENT to put tubes in? Because the doctor even thinks its a good idea now

Definately follow up by letting your ENT know you have another ear infection and make an appointment to discuss tubes again. Keep in mind you can always get a second opinion from another ENT if yours doesn't agree with you. He might have pushed you off 5 months to see if they resolved on their own--which they obviously haven't.
It sounds crazy but taking probiotics (supplements not the drinks) can help with constant ear infections. I recommend a book by Patrick Holford called food is better medicine than drugs - I am sure it would have some very helpful suggestions on this topic.
