My 14 month old baby has had tubes put in recently and I continue to give him the st-justine nasal douche (10ml per nostril). Water seems to be coming out of his ears. Is this normal?

Sit up straight. Is it normal that afterwards my ear gets a little wet? Should I use less liquid?

Hello Ma'am,
Yes, it's normal for it to come out a little bit through the ear.
You could indeed try with 5 mL rather than 10 mL per nostril, but it may not make much of a difference in the amount of water that goes into the ear.
Besides, it's not a concern if water comes out like that.
Happy day :)
