Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the effectiveness of this lymphatic drainage method in eliminating otalgia interruption due to eustachian dysfunction and reducing middle ear pressure which occurs in the postoperative period after adenoidectomy andor adenotonsillectomy
Detailed Description: The eustachian tube lies between the middle ear and the nasopharyngeal cavity and provides ventilation of the middle ear The most important function of the Eustachian tube is to balance the air pressure in the middle ear with atmospheric pressure

Temporary eustachian dysfunction and ear fullness occur in the early postoperative period after adenoidectomy andor adenotonsillectomy This temporary eustachian dysfunction is considered to be caused by clots and edema in the nasopharynx after surgery In addition trauma to the eustachian tube during adenoidectomy performed by curettage also contributes

Eustachian dysfunction may present at the post-operative period resulted in otalgia related to middle ear pressure in the pediatric patients undergoing adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy In this case the need for analgesic agents rises in the early postoperative operiod and beyond this stituation impairs the quality of the healing process

Reducing middle ear pressure by ensuring the mobility of the eustachian tube with the eustachian milking maneuver which is a lymphatic drainage method may reduce the otalgia symptoms during the post-operative recovery period thus reducing the use of analgesic agents and improving the quality of the healing process The aim of this observational study is to investigate to what extent a eustachian therapy maneuver corrects the negative values in middle ear pressure in the postoperative period
