Im not really sure where this goes....but I'll ask here anyway.
I am 19 years old and have had 3-4 ear infections a year, sometimes 5-6. I have never had ear tubes but every time I get a ear infecton the docters ask my mom/dad if I have ever had ear tubes(I may have had but was to young to remimber) but they say no. My queston is am I too old for ear tubes? My parents allways thout they only did it in VERY young kids....like ages 7 and younger. Have you all ever herd of a 19 year old getting year tubes? I've allways herd that sugrey in a teen ager usually heals faster then those not in their teens. If Im not too old, and my doctor recomeneds it, do you think I should go ahead and have it done instead of waiting if you can get it done in your 20's and above?
I really dont know what to do.
