Assessing the Role of Nasal Irrigation in Chronic Otorrhea in Children With Tympanostomy Tubes.

Importance: Nasal irrigation (NI) is effective in the treatment of sinonasal disease; however, its efficacy in treating otologic conditions is undetermined. Chronic otorrhea (CO) is an important complication in children with tympanostomy tubes (TT), requiring additional treatment.

Objective: Determine potential factors of NI that put children with TT at risk of developing CO.
