Question
Does sleeping on the stitched ear wound affect its healing?
Answer
Based on the above analysis, if a baby’s ear wound has not yet healed, being pressed on may lead to infection. Additionally, since the blood flow to the ear lobe is not very rich, the wound may be slower to heal, but this is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to remove the stitches after the wound has healed and to avoid squeezing the wound.
