Docs, wanted to know if i can get in the pool if i wear ear plugs after an ear infection?

Ear infection: You would be better off using nose plugs to prevent a middle ear infection.because water and mucus can enter your middle through your euchstacian tubes. If you had a swimmers ear wearing ear plugs would be more fitting
