The Ear tube insertion is a surgical procedures under full anesthesia, with the health risks involved. The cost of Ear infections and Ear tubes ranges from 25$ for a simple trip to your local healthcare professional and up to as much as 4,500$ to have an ear tube surgery. The cost usually includes doctor visits, antibiotics, and Homeopathic treatments.
Should an ear with a tube in place become infected, the tube then functions as a drain, without pain, by allowing pus to drain out. The tube then allows the parent to insert medication directly to the site of the infection using antibiotic/steroid ear drops. The tubes can alleviate hearing loss caused by the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear. Ear tubes are made from various materials and consist of small, cylindrical tubes that are positioned through the ear drum. Some tubes are designed to fall out on their own, and others may require removal by a doctor.
