I had a tube put in my ear 2 days ago and now that side of my face hurts to chew and my eye and really soar. I wasn't sure if this was normal or not.

Answer 1

I had ear tubes placed in my ears in 1982, and the procedure has changed a bit since then. However, you can expect to experience mild sore throat for a day or two. I did with both of my ear surgeries, the latest one being a tympanoplasty to remove a tube, remove scarring, and repair a perforated eardrum. They place tubes in your throat to help you breathe under anesthesia, and your throat will be a little raw afterwards.
How is your eye affected? Is it just a little irritated and sore? If you are continuing to experience pain, and it is getting worse, I would call your doctor. I would call the doctor if I was you, just to make sure everything was healing normally.
