What precautions should I take after an eardrum surgery and how long should I avoid washing my hair to prevent water from entering the ear
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
After eardrum surgery, it's crucial to keep the ear dry and avoid activities that could put pressure on the ear. Generally, you should avoid washing your hair or showering for at least a week after surgery and for up to 6 weeks, you should prevent water from entering the operated ear. To do this, you can use a cotton ball coated with Vaseline to form a barrier before showering or washing your hair
