Can A Holiday Be Planned After Grommets Being Fitted?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Grommets are small temporary tubes that are placed in your ear during surgery.
They help drain fluid away and keep the eardrum open.
Based on the fact that you have vertigo and discharge it is recommended to rest and avoid travelling.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
