Ear Problem
Posted: 06-14-07 09:33am

right so most mornings i wake up with both ears blocked sometimes i can manage to unblock them but one morning a week and a half ago i couldnt unblock my right ear so i put some OTEX ear drops in it, after a few days i got some of the wax out but it was still blocked so i continued with the drops for another 4 days and got some more wax out last night, my ear cleared and i planned to start on my left ear this morning but when i got up this morning my right ear was slightly blocked again

but i managed to unblock it so i tried putting the drops in my left ear but when i lay down to do it my right ear kept blocking up so i wiped the drops up from my left ear and decided to put them in my right eat again tonight, is it possible that by putting the drops in my left ear that it caused my right one to become blocked again?

now both my ears are giving me hassel, if i press on my right ear it will block slightly, is there still wax in it?

and my left ear will block up if i eat or drink but that can be unblocked by either gently pulling on my ear lobe or sniffing

so which ear do i put the drops into my left or right, if i put them in my left how can i stop my right ear becoming blocked and if i put them in my right ear will it get even more wax out?

i cant put them in both because i wont be able to hear much

also if i went to the docs for it what could he do other than syringing?

It sounds like you may have fluid in your ears. That's why when you change position it will become blocked up again. A lot of times you just have to let it go away. You may want to discontinue the drops for a little while and if it doesn't clear up contact your doctor.
