It is important to consult a doctor to determine whether or not a child with ear tubes should wear plugs during swimming, especially if they have had the tubes for more than 2 years. In general, if the water is treated with chlorine or salt, plugs may not be necessary. However, it is always best to seek medical advice to ensure the safety and well-being of the child. It is also worth noting that cotton wool may not provide complete protection and can still allow water to enter the ears. In some cases, rubber plugs may be more effective.
