I had tubes installed in both ears for serous otitis. My ears are as blocked as before. Is this normal?

Hello Ma'am,

No, this is not normal. We would need to consult a doctor to make sure that the tubes are indeed in place and that they are not blocked (this is rare, but not impossible).

So I invite you to consult a doctor.

At your pleasure,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
