EAR IRRIGATION

Pre/Post Operative Instructions


Irrigation of the Ear with Vinegar or Betadine

Dr. Daube has indicated that he wishes you to irrigate the ear canal for treatment of your ear infection.

PRECAUTIONS: on rare occasions, treatment may cause itching, burning, or increase in ear discharge. Should these symptoms develop after the first few applications of the solution, please discontinue treatment and contact our office.

Discontinue all treatment to the ear 24 hours prior to your next office visit.

Do not allow soap or water to enter the ear canal. When showering or washing your hair, place cotton or lambswool in the opening of the ear and cover the outside of the material with Vaseline.

Preparation of Irrigation Solution

Prepare a solution of: white vinegar and Betadine mixed 1:1

use ear syringe to treat your ear(s) 3 times a day.

Syringe Procedure

Purchase a 2 oz-rubber ear syringe and a small kidney-shaped basin from your pharmacist. Fill the syringe with the solution. Holding the kidney-shaped basin firmly under the ear, irrigate the ear canal using gentle pressure. Do not block the ear opening with the tip of the syringe. Repeat the procedure until the returning solution is clear. (Mild dizziness may occur; this may be avoided by warming the solution to body temperature).
