Bilateral myringotomy and tubes

BM-T requires general anesthesia to make your child sleep during the surgery. 

In a BM-T, the surgeon will put small tubes in your child’s eardrums to allow air to get inside. When air is able to get behind the eardrum, the fluid inside the ear can flow out or dry up, taking away the pain or pressure your child may have been feeling and making future infections less likely.
