My son, Rhett, is ten years old and just had his tympanoplasty surgery on August 24, 2011 (this past Wednesday). He still feels nausea and a stabbing pain in his ear. He was allowed to take the plastic cup off today, but he said it hurt even worse afterwards. He does NOT like the feel of the gauze and drainage in his ear. He came home the same day as the surgery and has been on pain and nausea meds for two days now. His doctor said to return to school on Monday. Do you have any suggestions for coping with the pain? How fast does it go away? What can he do to make his return to school easier? He lost over 50 percent of his eardrum in a high pressure water hose accident, which is why he needed the surgery. His ear is packed with the dissolvable dry foam material, but is still leaking a lot of fluid. Thanks in advance for your advice and help. Best---S</p> Thank you for this helpful blog.
