As a nurse I would say its dependant on how long the graft has been in place. If its recent (last 6 months) then you need an expert opinion from the surgeon who did the op. If its been in place years then just chew gum whilst going up or down.

No situation. you've a tube connecting the middle ear to the throat (the Eustachian tube). this can equalise the rigidity each and each and every time you swallow. Suck a sweet even as starting off off and all should be outstanding.
