thanks so much for all your replies and stories, I am feeling much better about it now and am glad we have booked the surgery, it is taking him a long time to get over this curren infection, we were back at doctor yesterday and his right ear is still very red so we have drops for that ear, he HATES them but i spose its good practice for after the op.

Has anyone heard or been told not to give nurofen after the surgery? We don't use it much anyway but i had heard not to use it, anyone else heard this?
