First time I have heard of this “Glue Ear”.
I have no idea what glue ear is but I do believe that I was one of four whose Dad Dr. did not remove her tonsils or adenoids due to time constraints. Nobody else was sick, I suffered from tonsillitis, broncho crappy ear infections all of my life.
My son was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) THREE TIMES, once at thirteen days with a fever of 104 and nearly dead. Second time at 18 months for two weeks with an “unknown viral issue”...HELLOO!
The third time with a fever of 105 ( his fifteenth probably...I can’t remember! at 4 years.
I finally convinced his ENT to take his freaking adenoids out at 5, they wouldn’t take the tonsils but it took them one hour under anaesthesia to just clean his ears.
He is 17 now, he’s had two colds, one minor bout of walking pneumonia and that’s it. We don’t do flu shots since 12th year.
He does suffer from migraines however, no proven reason.
If you ask me.. T and A, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy should become the substitute for all of these understudied freakazoid GMO vaccines.
In the 50’s and 60’s this was common practice.
Diseases ran rampant after that.
JMHO.
Mediterraneans drip olive oil into the ears to unplug them.
Same here, and I’ve been around since 1940. Never had tubes in my ears, tonsils out at 5.
