  1. A quick google of the condition came up with these :-

    The use of S-carboxymethylcysteine resulted in 35% cure rates compared with
    17% with placebo in seven studies with 282 children and 146 ears. The NNT
    was 5.5 (3.8 to 9.8).
    Only two studies individually showed statistical benefit of treatment over
    placebo. Most studies, except one very small one, were above the line of
    equality (Figure 1).

    My friend used to suffer from glue ear when we wee children, and I remember
    him telling me that the grommet came out naturally.
    He's 30 now and his hearing is perfect..

    Hi Guys,
    My five year old son has been diagnosed as having 'Glue Ear'. As a
    pre-cursor to surgery and 'grommets' are there any alternatives you could
    recommend.
    Thanks in Anticipation
    Andy
