Ear Tubes — A Caregiver's Guide
When using ear drops, do the following to help pump the drops in the ear canal and
get down to the ear tube:
1. Have your child lay down on
their side. Put ear drops into
opening of ear canal.
2. Push down on tragus
4–5 times (small piece
of cartilage in front of
ear canal opening). This
will help pump the drops
into the canal.
