Antibiotics Helped My Ear, I Think
Posted: 08-03-06 22:57pm

Everybody with pulsating ear has said antibiotics have made their ear worse. Well, not me. After months of that lousy heartbeat in my left ear, having been checked out superficially, I developed some other sort of infection, cannot remember what. The doctor gave me antibiotics for that. After the first pill, my ear stopped pulsating. I had had the pulsating for several months already. It was not real bad, only heard it at night when quiet. It did not make me crazy.
I think I initially developed the pulsating from poking my ear with a match. My doctor said never put anything in my ear, not even a q tip, never remove wax.
Then I developed the sound once again, it went away again.
My third episode with it was recently when I went swimming. I had a very loud pulsating this time. I could even hear it in the day when things were going on. At night it was loud. Even turning on my fan could not mask the noise. After 1 1/2 days it went away. I went swimming again, with much intrepeditation, but I did not get that pulse again, but I did keep my head above water. :idea:
