Post Procedure Care
The ENT surgeon may recommend water precautions for some patients. This may require the use of a cotton ball with petroleum jelly, earplugs or a swimmer's headband to prevent water from entering the ear canal.
For those patients who are allowed to get their ears wet in a pool,
they shouldn't dive too far below the surface of the water. The pressure
from this activity may cause water to enter the middle ear.
