We have Ciprodex to use any time my son's ears drain to prevent infections- sometimes it works, sometimes he ends up on oral antibiotics. Our ENT says that if they are still draining after 4 days with drops, to start antibiotics. And I feel for you on long waits at the pedi! Hopefully his ears dry up soon!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516602618145255025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-76637306919781094002011-03-25T20:04:09.729-05:002011-03-25T20:04:09.729-05:00We use Northwest Arkansas Pediatric Clinic.

If you are interested I can give you their names.<br /><br />They have a location in Fayetteville and Lowell. The Fayetteville location has a sick and well building, which I really like.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257280566989687153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-17337799464788861972011-03-25T16:20:35.926-05:002011-03-25T16:20:35.926-05:00I second what everyone else has said. Landry had ...I second what everyone else has said. Landry had tubes put in when he was 8 months old. Just two weeks ago he had a cold that turned into a sinus infection and had lots of drainage coming out of his ears. His ENT said that it's perfectly fine, that the tubes are doing what they are supposed to do. He did have us start putting the drops that he gave us when he got them put in, in his ears for 5 days. He said that they protect the tubes. Also, I remember him telling me at the appointment that he has some patients that their ears drain all the time. Also, Landry's ped Dr. prescribed us Vazotan, a decongestant, and it works wonders when he is stopped up from a cold. We've also been told that he can have 1/4 tsp of Muccinex. You might ask about either one of those to help him at night!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053976036903557752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-10552922972444322642011-03-25T14:08:51.140-05:002011-03-25T14:08:51.140-05:00he is a DOLL face!!!he is a DOLL face!!!Tara Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342686184397792873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-66061434301581920962011-03-24T22:59:30.384-05:002011-03-24T22:59:30.384-05:00Our pediatrician told us we could give our Grayson...Our pediatrician told us we could give our Grayson 1/4 teaspoon of delsym at night for his cough last week.

Her vocabulary improved the same day that she had her surgery and she seemed so much happier. Her ENT also said that the drainage was a sign that the tubes were working. Maggie didn't start having infections until she was 11 months old, but it was still really hard to have her feeling bad all the time. Hope Grayson's cough is better soon!The Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453909200424907737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898922762803193029.post-44228981013725606042011-03-24T19:59:20.075-05:002011-03-24T19:59:20.075-05:00I just wanted to tell you that my son Rhett has ha...I just wanted to tell you that my son Rhett has had his tubes for about 8 months, best thing that we ever did for the little guy. He did just get his first ear infection sense we got the tubes put in and the reason that I knew other than him being really fussy was the fact that he had grossness coming out of one ear! It really kind of freaked me out but when I asked Dr. Cadle and Dr. Black about it they both told me that it was actually a good sign that the tubes were doing their job draining the fluid off of the ear instead of it sitting on it and getting infected even worse. One round of antibiotics and he was over the ear infection instead of the three or four we had to do in the past.
