Dear- thanks for using HCM . I understand your concern about your grandson. The drainage from the ear most likely is an infection. It is important that he will be checked out by the ENT due to the fact that at his age , ear infection can get complicated very easily and create more problems. He already has ear tubes so it is advisable to have them checked and start oral antibiotics as soon as possible.
