Re: My left ear was clogged a few weeks ago

[Guest guest]

that's interesting.  My daughter had an ear infection caused by drainage and a

small opening for the ear to drain.  The ENT told her to use Afrin (on a

limited basis) when she had drainage until her ear cleared up.  It worked!  I

guess each ENT has his own treatment for  ear problems. 

Glad you got yours taken care of.

 

I, too, have persistent ringing in my ears when the allergies are bad.  But

there are many times when I have no ringing at all.  But then sometimes it is

so loud it really bothers me.  But it usually goes away without any meds. 

Guess one day I'll have to have it checked out.

I had a mild case of the flu and awoke one morning to find that my left ear was

stopped up. The hearing was faint in it and it was driving me crazy. My PCP gave

me an Rx for Flonase but it didn't do a thing.

I got an appointment with my ENT. He said it would eventually clear up on it's

own after a few weeks or he could unstop it for me. I said " let's get it over

with. "

The deadened the area, stuck a small needle through the ear drum and sucked the

fluid out. OUCH! I was instantly hearing better.

I NEVER have ear problems. This was the first time and don't want to do that

again!!!
