How to Sleep After Ear Surgery?

It is important to protect the ears when lying in bed and sleeping on your side can cause injury to the wound site. Wearing the protective headband will offer some protection. Swelling can be minimised by keeping the head in an elevated position with the help of an extra pillow or two. A wedge pillow or neck pillow may also help to keep the head in place. If it is uncomfortable to sleep on your back in bed, it may be more comfortable in a recliner chair. Most doctors recommend that patients avoid sleeping on their side for 3-4 weeks after the operation.
