Moms of Tubes-kids?

My DD got tubes in July and has her first post-tubes cold this week.  Before tubes a snotty cold basically meant an ear infection was coming so I am on high alert. 

For moms of kids with tubes... I was told to look for "ear discharge" and if it is present to go in because that means ear infection.  How much and what am I looking for?  Her ear canals have some yellow waxy stuff in them (naturally she is wayyy averse to me cleaning them out well so I assume this is natural).  I just don't want to miss something because she has been through enough. :)

Any experience with this would be helpful, thanks so much.

    From my experience, you'll know the difference between wax and infection discharge.  I mean, I have a picture if you think that would be helpful, but I don't want anyone to lose their lunch while innocently surfing TB.  Can we PM a picture?  If so, and you're interested, let me know and I'll shoot it your way.  (or PM me your email address)

    Oh I totally am.  Please send it to me!  I am a nurse and you could send me pictures of you losing your lunch and I wouldn't lose mine. :)

    I was always told that green discharge from the ear was an ear infection.
