On going ear problems, doc told me glue ear?!?!?

Hello thank u for your reply I am in the UK, no swimming or moisture only thing I associate my ear with is giving birth to my son I have had continues problems since then. Haven't had any treatment for it waiting for ent appointment. I don't have any discharge now did when had ear infection last week

Is possible that you damaged some blood vessels in your ear, possibly causing infection. Pain would suggest infection is still about or maybe a rupture in the Drum which could occur during labour? It's a tough one, are you going to an ENT specialist or to a GP?

 

Hi Pistal dont mean to hijack this post.... .... i've had ear and throat pain for a few days.. went to the doc and he adv that the wax in my ear is blocking the ear drum..... so he syringed it..... however i am still feeling alot of pressure in the ear..... which makes me feel bit dizzy and so tired .... and miserable..... i evn hava chest infection..... chest is tite and im just so uncomfy.... my throat feels uncomfy .... i went to the ENT and they looked and said the ear is fine... but its not....

any ideas wot it cud be??

Thats what I keep asking them but getting recurring infections apparently definitely nota iinfection now I had problems immediately after labour as couldnt stand my baby crying had phone appointment and was given migraine tablets then (year ago now), at the moment the more I do the more pain I am getting ended up in tears just doing house work. I am seeing ent end November but gp said it will be glue ear

When you go to ENT, they may use a Micro Vacuum to clean your ear to get a better look. Is you have dammaged the inner Ear, this could be a little bit painful. I would suggest taking a couple of pain killers before you go. They may not have to do this, they may see the problem straight away. I'm not 100% sure, but it sounds like you have damaged your ear and it's not healng due to infection, you control the infection, still not healed, infection comes back. If it is glue ear, (which usually only lasts a few Months not a Year?) they will try to unblock the tube going from the Ear to throat. Either way, ENT should give you an answer there and then. Did they ever perscribe you Penicillin and/or any form of steroid? 

Hi Farah. Does your Neck feel tender, running from just behind the Ear Lobe, down through the side of the neck, or does it feel like the back of your throat?

 

its more the side of the neck down that feels tender.. and then i get this anxious feeling in my chest .... im going back to theENT .... to a different one but im so scared they gonna say nothing's rong when something is!!!!!

Sounds a lot like your glands are swollen. This could be a good sign as your [color=#222222]lymph nodes often swell and feel tender when fighting a virus. If you do have a Virus, there is not to much you can do about it and it should be gone on it's own by a couple of Weeks, max. This would explain a number of your symptoms including Ear ache, sore throat and dizziness. This could also be the source of your Anxiety. If you are finding it uncomfortable/painfull when you swallow, I would say this is the case. Did it feel worse after you had your Ears[/color] Syringed?

*don't know where that color2222 thing came from

Thank you for your help, I am not able to have penicillin as allergic but have another type which last two occasions hasnt worked and had to have something else after

Ask them to take a swab if they have not done so already. I hope you get it sorted. It gets very frustraiting when it's painful and affects your hearing, more so when you have little ones. Sometimes a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel helps when you lie your ear on it.
