Tubes Put In Both Ears After Middle Ear Infection. Very Itchy, Clogged, Leaking Clear Fluid. Reason ?

I am 45 year old male who had tubes put in both my ears in April of this year for a middle ear infection. My ears have been very itchy the past week. I saw my ENT and was told that the itching was due to wax buildup which was removed by Dr 4 days ago. I was told that there was no evidence of ear infection at the time of the Dr visit. Since then, my ears have been clogged and have begun leaking clear fluid.

the tubes automatically move out when drum repair itself
