My three year old daughter has had bleeding in the ear since her her tubes were put in last june. She was hospitailized for a severe infection in the ears and also had to under go a catscan. The catscan revealed fluid still in the ears which they say we have to watch and undergo every six minths for the possiblitly that it spreads to the back of her brain. Since then she falls constaintly and several times says "what" like she can't hear me. I even found her laying on the speaker in the hospital to hear her cartoons. I sent her to an Audiologist and these are her results- Sound thresholds were age appropriate for the better ear, tympanograms suggested poor compliance right ear, positive pressure in left. We were refered to early intervention. What does this all mean? Is it permanet? Will she need a hearing aid? The suregon didnt drain all the fluid out before putting tubes in, is that bad?
hi,what you are facing is partial obstruction of Eustachian tubes.Treatment for this condition is anti histaminics,decongestants,steam inhalation and steroids in case of persistant symptoms.
Please try chewing gums as constant chewing prevents blockage of tubes.Also, try Valsalva maneuver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva_maneuver
bye and take care!
