Cotton swabs should not be used to clean drainage from the ear canal,especially after ear surgery.The client should be careful to avoid pressure extremes that could damage the tympanic membrane,including jumping or blowing the nose forcefully.Occluding only one nostril when blowing the nose reduces pressure within the ear and minimizes the chance of injury to the ear.
