S.L.
When our 3rd child had tubes she did stop having so many ear infections. She had about 25 in the first 2 years. In other words, she was never better more than a few days at a time. After that she still got the upper respiratory infections. It was 2 years later that we decided to remove her tonsils. She never had tonsillitis. But her tonsils where huge and the doctor said they were blocking her airway, keeping her too tired to fight infections and germs could hide behind them. She was a different person after that.
