A controlled prospective study was designed to find the relation of otorrhoea with swimming in ears with grommets. The children were allowed to swim in swimming pools without any precautions. They were advised not to swim during an upper respiratory infection. The results show that the incidence of otorrhoea among swimmers and non-swimmers after first 6 weeks post-operatively was remarkably similar.
一项对照前瞻性研究旨在探究带通气管患儿耳漏与耳部进水游泳之间的关系。这些儿童在没有任何预防措施的情况下被允许在游泳池游泳。他们被建议在上呼吸道感染期间不要游泳。结果显示，术后前6周游泳者和非游泳者中耳漏的发生率显著相似。
