How To Treat Fluid In Ears?
my 24 month old grandson recently had an ear infection Friday he went for his follow-up and the Dr. said infection gone but he have water in his ear how do I remove the water. If the water remains in his ear will it eventually cause another infection?

Hello. I just read through your question. This is not uncommon. Sometimes fluid can remain in the ear after the infection is gone, and sometimes this can lead to another infection. In most cases, though, fluid in the ears resolves on it's own. You should follow up with your doctor in about one month to confirm this. If the fluid is still there, your doctor may want your grandson to be seen by an ENT. Until then, however, there is nothing to do.
