does a chil run a fever when they have tubes put in their ear?
Myringotomy tubes (often called ear tubes) are small tubes that are surgically placed into your child's eardrum by an ear, nose, and throat surgeon. The tubes may be made of plastic, metal, or Teflon.The tubes are placed to help drain the fluid out of the middle ear in order to reduce the risk of ear infections.During an ear infection, fluid gathers in the middle ear, which can affect your child's hearing.ar tubes come in a variety of sizes, shapes and materials that allow surgeons to best fit the tube to your child, but they're all designed to create an artificial hole in the eardrum to ventilate the middle ear. About one million children each year have tubes placed in their ears.
