HOw many ear infections ?

My son has had 8 ear infections since june... his doc has put him on an antibiotic for a 30 day spell, and he has an appointment with his ent doc in mid january... is that bad enough to get tubes?

Yes, he must be miserable. Tubes are really not a big deal and they help a lot. This needs to be taken care of, you can get permanent hearing loss from ear infections.

yes it is
but if it takes more than 2 sets of tubes to stop it from coming yiu mite want to look into removing his toncels

i had 6 sets of tubes b4 thay took my toncels out after than no infections 10 + years and counting id take thim out first
