Hey jill, how are you doing?
If no eardrops were prescribed and the drainage persists for more than 4 days after surgery call the office. The ears will often drain for 3-4 days after the surgery.
Nauseous or have an upset stomach after surgery is also common and usually disappear after one day and are from the anesthesia. The nurses can provide you with an emesis basin to take home in case your child becomes car sick.
If after your follow-up visit with the doctor your child develops drainage, call your pediatrician/family doctor. Call also if your child develops recurrent infections or if the drainage does not stop after 5 days of antibiotics.
Best wishes,
