Re: Fluid in ear--need help!

 

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the tip. I've heard about ear candling, but never tried

it. I always thought it was for ear wax only. My right ear is clear

of wax but there is definitely fluid behind the ear drum, at least

that's what the docs tell me. I'm hesitant to have surgery because

in my experience it fixes one problem but creates another!

 

So, you're supposed to lay on your side to do ear candling? How does

the fluid drain out if you're on your side, ear facing up? I guess

I'll have to research this more.

 

I'm willing to try just about anything right now. The last couple of

days my right ear has been throbbing, popping, swishing, and when I

breathe out of my nose I can feel it go out my ear! I can't sleep on

my right side anymore because the fluid pressure makes my ear very

painful and sore when I wake up.

 

Thanks,

KC

 

 

If your eardrum is ruptured, you should probably have it checked....
