What Are The Possible Treatments To Remove Fluid From Ears?

Hi , I need to know wHAT i can do for my son. He does not speek with clarity or can speek sounds. He might have had fluid in his ears. I want to know what tests I can get for him. He is 4 1/2 yr old boy. Is not toilet trained and seems to revert to baby like behavior since he cannot speak clearly. He is not in school but I am trying to get him in to school. I am going to a meeting, but they are saying there isn't enough to require preschool. can you help me ask for more tests. They found he cannot say s, c t d l ch and more. thank you , sincerly SUSAN
