ENT appointment tomorrow. Meantime I will bitch to u guys.

I feel like I am on a plane that's landing and my ears will not pop. And the plane apparently was orbiting earth as it has been going on all day.

I feel like I really have a lot behind the ear drum.

Any docs on here who have had success with OTC NSAIDs or decongestants in treating your patients? Thus far I am taking Advil. I've been using swim ear (alcohol) drops. I wonder if this late in the game it's a waste of time though?

Maybe it's an actual ear infection?


At least you are seeing a doctor about it tomorrow. Good luck tonight, ear pain sucks

Nothing in your ear bigger than you're elbow. But I have already violated that rule. Q-tips did not help.

Sounds more like otitis media than swimmer's ear (otitis externa). Go to the doctor.

Likely eustachian tube dysfunction/serous otitis media. Not draining fluid well possibly due to nasal congestion/allergies. You can Try sudafed and afrin.

Swimmers ear is swelling/pain to the outer ear/canal plus or minus discharge. Does it hurt to move your ear when you touch or pull on it? If no, then not swimmers ear

Or you have a shitload of earwax that needs removed
