Does Burping After A Tympanoplasty Affect The Eardrum?

I had a tympanoplasty 3 days ago. I am concerned that burping or hiccuping is introducing pressure into my ear and impacting the graft on the eardrum. Should I be concerned? I have not sneezed, but have been sniffling quite a bit, as well as hiccuping and burping.
