Dear Dr. Sarah: Tubes...

Dear Dr. Sarah,

Is it possible that a toddler can still get an ear infection even though he has tubes?

Dear Confused in Galveston,

Yes, I'm afraid you CAN still get an ear infection when you have tubes in your ears. Along with that comes irritability, snot rockets, and a cough that sounds like the Marlboro man.

Hope this clears up your confusion.

Best,
Dr. Sarah
