NotesIt is estimated that approximately one in every three children will receive treatment for an ear infection before they turn three years old. Ear infections are the most common reason young children visit their doctor. And, about one in every fifteen children will have ear tubes inserted by the age of three.
In this episode, we are joined by Michael Chee, M.D., pediatric otolaryngologist at Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital at Hackensack University Medical Center., to shed some light on ear infections, eardrum ruptures, and when ear tubes are the best solution.
