Ear problems, advice would be nice?

I've had this left ear problems for months now. I've been to the doctors and he cleaned it out after I had been trying for weeks.( yes I use ear wax stuff and h.p) I told him that is still felt like I had a bubble in my ear, he siad thats cause its wet. Well a month later and it still the same.





I clean it out several times and there is no wax in it but I can hear my self breath, yet I can hardly hear out of it but theres nothing coming out of it.





I s frustrated. It doesn't bother me at night. It starts when I walk out the door and get to work. (They smoke indoors at work and I don't (Yes I know but I can't find another job)) but it stop about 30 min after I get home. I don't get it. I can't afford to go back to the ENT and the only doctor open is a ';band aid clinic'; that said my ear was just wet the first time.








Any ideas on what would be wrong? Ive tried swimmer ear med too and that didn't work. My head kinda hurts but I think thats cause of the smoke. Other then my ear I feel fine. Frustrated, annoyed but fine.





Don't tell me to try and pop it cause it doesn't work. pops and then it bubbles up again. Ear problems, advice would be nice?
$4 and you don't even need to see the doctor!





I had a similar problem last spring. My ear felt full of wax all the time and kept popping...I agree, totally annoying. I tried the wax remover and ended up seeing my doc when the pain got bad enough I thought it was an ear infections. She said that there was no infection and she had no concern for wax, she said that fluid was built up behind my ear drum causing all the symptoms. I did as she said and got the good sudafed (that you don't need a prescription for, but have to get from behind the counter at the pharmacy - the cheap brand is less than $4). I took it twice a day for about 1.5 weeks and like magic it was gone.





I usually have similar allergy problems in the fall that result in high fevers and infections. I took the sudafed this fall instead of benedryl like I used to take and I made it through fall without any infections :o) Ear problems, advice would be nice?
I've had similar problems like this. Last spring, my left ear was leaking and I couldn't hear a thing from it and that was because I had a tear in my ear drum. I've had ear problems for years. You may have a slight tear in your eardrum, and it can get irritated by the smoke. I'm trying to remember what I took... I started of on Amoxicilin, then they upped me to Augmentin. That helped soooooo much and it soon started to heal and my hearing was still a little damaged from the scar tissue on my ear drum, but it did heal. It took a while, also we did not get it checked out for 6 weeks, which did NOT help. My ENT prescribed the meds so I hope this helps! Good luck and feel better!!!
