Why is your child having ear tube surgery? What could be causing the obstruction of his natural eustachian tube? He's out of the age range where your problems are things kids will grow out of so why a nine-year-old has eustachian tube dysfunction would be worth investigating with testing as well as examination of the back of the nose with eustachian tube opens into the nose.
This is a very short procedure they usually just use gas and not intubate. Pt may be sleepy for a few hours. Do not get water in the ears. Sometimes they prescribe ear drops to use for a few days. Some children are sensitive to noise for a few days
