Quote from: "GrAnnie"I've been having pain and a tingly feeling in my left ear for a couple months now. I saw my doctor twice about it and he keeps telling me that there's water behind the eardrum and to use a decongestant. I'm taking Dayquil decongestant and it isn't working. Soo I bought some Polysporin ear drops and that's helping with the pain.  I also tried a baby ear plunger thingy but it didn't work. Anyone ever hear of water behind the eardrum? And any ideas how to get it out?


I recommend you see another doctor to get a referral to see an otolaryngologist. It sounds like you need prescription strength antihistamine or maybe antibiotics to help dissipate the fluid.



If you live in Canada, I assume there might be different procedures to see a specialist. As has been suggested, the worst case scenario involves permanent hearing loss, so you should treat this with more expedience than a roulette of over the counter aids.

The fluid build up needs to be drained..



It should not get to the point it would cause permanent hearing loss shin?


I thought I read she was enduring this discomfort for over a month. Some people could develop infections in less time without antibiotics... but you're right about the fluid needing to be drained.

What causes ear wax build up? I've had this problem since I was a kid.

I thought it was a primitive way to remove small particles and germs from the outer ear canal by excess self lubrication.

I wish there was a way I could stop it. It gets so bad sometimes I have trouble hearing.

I don't think there is any doctor approved method to slow it down any more than an excessively runny nose.

I have heard of ear drops, but I'm a man. I'll suck it up.

We're not supposed to stick anything in our ears like q tips but have always been careful when doing that.  Polysporin ear drops help with the pain, softens whatever is stuck in there and help to keep infection away.
