Middle ear infections are absolutely awful.
They don't happen to me frequently, but when they DO...
It's such a terrible time.
Everything is muffled and tinny, and ear pain eventually follows.
It makes me so depressed and not wanna do anything from how unbearable it is.
I typically treat it as soon as I can.
Whether it be ear drops, antibiotic pills, or on the rare case, injections.
Screw ear infections.
Keep your ears clean, ladies and gentlemen!
And drink plenty of water, too!
Dehydration can also lead to clogged/muffled hearing.
I have one right now its terrible cant hear and my ear is ringing horribly its awful
Yes I am hurting so bad in Ontario Canada and it hurts so bad
I've had a ear infection for Two days now, everything is muffled and my ear feels super full but I don't feel really any pain yet is that normal?
My left ear keep ringing no pain or hearing loss, checked with 3 ENT doctors everything is fine but the ringing sound is sometimes loud sometimes ringing slow.
Thank you so much! It’s 3:52am and my ear is in so much pain after swimming in the ocean for a week while on vacation. I found some anabiotic eyedrops I had that can also be used as eardrops for swimmers ear. And you’re right. The pain does keep you awake at night!
Very insightful, thank you this is the best video on youtube on this topic
So glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your kind comment.
Well I am an adult in Canada dealing with Otitis Media and doctors have not found anything spite of my symptoms for three years on a row. Frustrating!!!
Bro wat tf are ur symptoms im goin crazy LMAOOO
I’m so sorry… that is incredibly frustrating for sure.
@@drakael3801can you help me same problem brother
Same here
I have to wear ear plugs when I shower, stuff kleenex in my ears if it's windy outside, or if I need to set with a fan blowing on me in the summertime. My inner ear tubes are very small, so they don't drain properly causing a painful thump thump thump in my ear & the back of my head. Taking Tylenal or Curcumin natural anti inflammatory & applying a heating pad encourages the fluid to dry up I guess, & makes the pain go away. I'm 60 for crying out loud. But this latest ear phenomenon started when I moved to NW Ohio. It's almost ALWAYS windy here.
Do you know that adults can get ear infections too we have ears
She didnt say adults cant she just said its more likely.
@AintNoWay-yo4ry ok looking for adult advise on ear infection 😑
@@TheCambra and it gives that briefly in the first half
@@WhY2Krazy that's great 👍🏻
Hello! I have just had a horrible ear infection. Antibiotics have worked their magic and the infection and swelling have calmed substantially. As a result, a blockage of wax came out today (hallelujah!) I was so happy as I could hear again... However, now I've had a constant drip of clear, odourless fluid coming out of my ear (no pain) - could this be just the extra fluid from swelling etc needing to come out? I'm a little freaked out! Thanks!
How long did it take for the antibiotics to drain the ear ?
I'm a caregiver for a 30 year old male who has constant middle and outer ear infections. At their worst it affects the scalp that already has psoriasis or his salary glands. There is already a dx of chronic ear infections. Which provider do I see next?
I went to my local urgent care this morning on 3/11/2024 due to persistent inner ear pain of both ears for the past week. Because I am allergic to amoxicillin and penicillin, I am on a 5 day course of Xithromycin.
any progress ?
@@WalkwithGod242 oh yeah I'm totally better now thank you for asking.
@@user-yd1du5ny2i good to hear and no problem, with you all the best
thanks
You're welcome!
How many days will last in children.
What vaccines help prevent ear infections?

Hope you are feeling much better!

I have been swimming a lot lately, I got a fever and my right ear began hurting. Is this a sign of otitis media or something else?
It could be a sign of otitis externa, otherwise known as “swimmer’s ear”. It is best to get it checked out by your provider! 👍
what is the difference between this with otomycosis ?
Otomycisus is fungal and in the ear canal
My father stopped a doctor who was piercing my eardrums with a small needle because each time this was done 1% hearing loss would be the result. In my day kids were having Adenoids and Tonsils removed. I thought the drainage tubes were put in at the throat area to open that up the eustachian tube to permit drainage You just said these are placed in the eardrum. If your eardrum is sliced open you will go deaf, not sure what you mean?
Yes the tubes are placed in the tympanic membrane, which is the ear drum. It does not result in deafness. Here is a link to a complete description of the myringotomy procedure: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK565858/
Do audlts have middle ears infection ?
They can! It’s just more common in children.
Does Too much antibiotics bad for kid? My son had ear infection 3 weeks ago and take antibiotics now he get it again 😢
Did he take the antibiotics for two weeks?
I have had left ear pain for four months now post covid. Lately the pain was getting worse until l saw a doctor who could not detect anything.3 weeks later it got so inflamed l was diagnosed with otitis externa and given an antibiotic spray. But the pain remains and l get tingling also behind and in front of the ear. When l closed my jaw l feel a strange sensationmin my inner ear sa if there is a blockage of somekind. I am awaiting to see an ear specialist as the doctor could not detect anything but gave me oral anti biotics which have helped but the pain and discomfort still remain.l am now wondering is my middle ear infected from stubborn blockage or is it further along the pathway in the eustchain tubes.. Great video.
Hi how re things now?
@@Pris_Darko Hi,Pris, I still have facial pain and ear pain. Not as bad but l feel nerve dysfunction is the issue. Have you been suffering with long covid or ear problems.? I visited a reflexologist twice now and she has helped.
@@colinsmith1288 I had covid end of 2023 and after that started having tinnitus and unilateral blocked ear...never had any issues with my ears...lately I developed eczema inside my ears um using eardrops os helping a little...but as I have eczema on my hands as well since I was little I'm afraid to get chronic
@@Pris_Darko l suffered with tinnitus for about 3 months. Plus l had no issues with my ears until l got covid. I got ear infections and nerve pain in my ears aswell. But l have nerve pain on my face. I had stinging sensations in my eyes for 6 months. Still get random nerve pain in my eyelids. It seems likk the immune system gets over triggered. I am trying to calm mine down.
I’m an adult expecting discomfort in my ear along with ringing.
It’s definitely important to see your provider about your symptoms, because there are a number of things that can be causing your discomfort and ringing.
I took antibiotics for 5 days (amoxicillin 3 times per day), the pain and stuff got better the second day but I got a yellowish liquid draining from my right ear. I went to the doctor and she said that it was my eardrum that was perced because of the pression of the liquid. It kept draining until 2 days ago when it almost stopped (it's still draining rn but a lot less, it's like drops). I currently have vertigo and headache and my right ear is completely off (i don't hear anything, I can feel my heart beating) and my left ear is also off but less than the right one. I just went to the doctor again and she told me to go see a professional tommorow because she can't do anything (she can't see bc of the pus in my ear).
So yeah, i'm gonna go tmr and hopefully my hearing will be back soon bc it's driving me crazy! I'll make updates if i don't forget :) (anyone with the same condition as me can comment, i wanna know if y'all got your hearing back or not, ty)
Bro any update?
@@Aayushh07 Hey! Yeah, I got updates :) So I went to the doctor a first time as i said and they gave me antibiotics again but it didn't worked and my eardrum pierced again (it was horrible) so I went again and they gave me some other antibiotics with 2 different types of ear drops that I had to take for like a week or so and after that, it finally worked! My earring got back after about a week and a half and I went for a quick check with my doctor to see if my eardrum was fine and she just said that my ear can feel weird sometimes but that it was normal and that it could take up to 6 weeks to fully repair (I went on january's first week so it's been about 3 weeks rn) And yeah, my ears are still feeling weird sometimes (especially the one with the pierced eardrum, it feels weird sometimes) but other than that everything is back to normal! I have an appointment on february to check my audition (the doctor told me to) to see if I lost a bit of hearing (and I think I did tbh, it's not exactly like before but it's not too disturbing)
So, yeah, i'm good now and I hope everyone that catches this mess will heal soon!! Remember to cover your ears when you go out. It could be a beanie or even your headphones, it's good to keep them warm especially when it's really cold like these last days. I never did it before but now that I experienced this, I will do it all the time when it's cold. Thank you for reading this and I hope I helped you!
من فضلك أعطنا اسم المضادات الحيوية التي استعملتها لأنني أعاني تماما مثلكم. لدي طبلة الأذن مثقوبة. شربت مضادا حيويا مثل augmentin
لمدة اسبوع وشفيت الأذن لأسبوع لكن رجع الألم.. فهمت من الأمر أن اذني بحاجة لمضاد حيوي أقوى من الأول.. أتمنى أن تفيدنا باسماء الأدوية التي استعملتها لكي أريها لطبيبي الخاص.. @@lildnzz
@@lildnzz hey man. would you mind sharing the name of those ear drops? and how to apply them? Thanks
Canada. Desperate for G.P.s ...pass the buck people. Up & onwards of 12 months waiting for E.N.T. & all other specialst persons. With absolutely fast as possible minimal office consultation using Covid 19 as a b.s. hide behind.
Can you help me same problem
You'd think children were the only ones to get ear infections.
I had flu I was cold and then my ear just can’t hear anything is it normal? If so how long does it last
do you feel better?
After how long did you get well?
