Avatar f tn When I am not dosing myself with ibuprophen( I was taking percocet at night but hated the side effects ) I am acutely aware now of pain in the neck in a localized area; below my ear. The doctor ordered an M.R.I. which I a awaiting and thought it could be a disc irritating a nerve but I am very unsure of that because the pain in my neck feels deeper than that. I am tired and looking forward to any thoughts suggestions coments. I live on an island and cannot wait until the M.R.I. results.
Avatar f tn I'm taking Prednisone for buzzing in the head/ear and it stops it. I was prescribed 1 20 mg tblet per day for 5 days. The awful buzzing stopped for 3 weeks after I used it for 5 days.Then it started again. So I went to ER and they said I had so much wax in my right ear that it was impacted and covering my ear drum so they cleaned it out. I had no buzzing for two days; also they prescribed the Prednisone again for 5 days. I took ONE AND REALIZED IT WORK IMMEDIATELY. The awful noise stopped.
Avatar n tn The doctor there says, she sees fluid build up in the middle ear and told me to take claritin and I should be fine. The day after I went to see another doctor with the same diagnosis and prescribed me Flonase. What I am worried about is a sudden sensorineural hearing loss which can be permenant.
Avatar m tn orientation of the head makes a difference in the hearing and I can get better hearing for a handful of seconds if I stick my finger in my ear and wiggle semi-vigorously. Also I feel some “tickle” if I tilt my head, as if some fluid wanted to come out. But the examination did not show any fluid at all. No infection, no wax, everything clean. No pain, no loss of balance.
Avatar n tn ve been to an ENT and three doctors, and none saw any fluid in my ear. Every doctor I saw had a different response. The ENT said, "Oh, just air not pressurizing properly." I'm assuming (since he did not elaborate or do further tests to see why) that my Eustachian Tube is not opening and closing properly due to inflammation.
Avatar f tn I have had tinnitus and vertigo for many years. 7 years ago I was put on prednisone for myalgia pain. My pain went away but it had no affect on my hearing. It did affect my belly....it bloated out like a pregnant woman...lol...I got off prednisone back in january of this year. If you can avoid it then avoid it. If you need it for other reasons and not for hearing then I guess you have to continue taking it until it does not good for you.
Avatar m tn Something similar happened to me. I was diagnosed with Meniere's disease. Lost most of my hearing in left ear. I take a course of prednisone a couple of times a year to combat vertigo, which accompanies the disease. It all started as you described- a head cold and clogged ears.
Avatar f tn Coming out of anesthesia he could not hear in his good ear. He lost hearing in the right ear due to an auto immune disease 10 years prior. The surgeon did permit 5 mg. of Prednisone had he had some improvement so he could hear himself talk. Currently he can't hear up to 100 decibels in the left ear, but in the previously deaf ear he can hear up to 85 decibels. We are hoping that a stronger round of Prednisone will help him. Thank you!
Avatar m tn 100% deaf in my left ear. I had my first prednisone injection in my inner ear and started on 60 mg oral prednisone for 10 days and then step down every 3 days for the next 10 days (6/3/2/1). After my second injection on October 26, 2015, I could actually hear words - faint words, but words. I had my 3rd and final injection on November 2, 2015. I am just today finishing up my last prednisone pill.
Avatar f tn Hi, I just went to an ENT ear spec last week and am also going to have an mri next week. I have had tinnitus my whole life and it never really occurred to me to have it checked cause I'm so used to it, but I've been having hearing loss on and off for sev. months in one ear and a speach therapist at my school recommended I check it out. ANYWAY, the good news for you is that he told me bilateral tinnitus like yours possibly is a better prognosis.
Avatar f tn He did check her throat and chest, said they were clear. She has not been tested for asthma. As for the prednisone, the first time, and this time it's for 4 days each. I think when she finishes the prednisone this time, I will go back to the pseudophedrine. I have vicks rub. Thanks for replying.
Avatar m tn Still no better today, still dizzy and have opaque fluid in my ears (as can be seen by an otoscope). I have been doing VRT for three weeks due to the dizziness, but without any results. I would like to call my doc again, but at this point I do not even know what can be done. I tried to get in with an ENT, but am looking at a three month wait at this point. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Avatar n tn I started getting a severe pain deep in my ear with an ungoddly itch that felt like it was in my throat and deep in my skull. A severe pain in the back of my head more towards the right side but in the middle. Some numbness below my jawline on both sides of face. A feeling that my face was about to cave in, Vertigo that would keep me in bed for days. ringing in my ear. inner and outer ear infections. blood taste in my mouth. And very hard crystal looking discharging from my ear.
1297586 tn?1274105947 Hi, I am having some partial hearing loss in my left ear for the past 4 weeks. I am taking hypothyroid meds. I have consulted ENT doc and they prescribed prednisolone, methylcobalamin inj. for this. From last week, I have seen some improvement but not at all cure. I felt some inbalance while walking and still there is some ringing sounds. I want to know whether my hearing problem will be a permanent or not. I want to hear any advice regarding my problem.
Avatar f tn MY left ear, long considered useless, opened up I felt a trickle in the back of my throat. and I could suddenly hear in that ear for a while. Oregano oil is purported to be a anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti parasite herb. I have not been consistent with taking it and I feel foolish about that. The problem in my right ear began on a plane flight, I heard a crackle and my ear hurt.
Avatar f tn However, you cannot use them if you have fluid in ear. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
446156 tn?1275859576 They said that I have a ear infection. They gave me antibiotics an ear drops that are used for swimmers ear. I could not buy the other ear drops that they gave me. Medicaid would not cover it so it was $173.76. The pain was horrible last night. I took some tylenal an it helped a little. Dose any one know of any thing that I can take. I can feel my heart beat an fluid behind my ear. Please help. Its driving me crazy.
Avatar f tn ve tried all the home remedies to remove the fluid....ear drops, hair dryer blown at ear, heat pack on ear, popping my ears (which I tried and failed to do). I can't find anything else to try that doesn't sound ridiculous. I am open to any suggestions. The fluid is driving me nuts and I can't hear.
Avatar f tn In the outer ears cerumen impaction or external otitis, in the middle ear fluid collection or disease of the tympanic membrane and in the inner ear damage to the nerve endings can cause hearing loss. An ENT examination, auditory brainstem response (ABR), a computerized test of the hearing nerves and brain pathways and CT/MRI brain may be needed to diagnose the cause for hearing loss. Treatment lies in treating the underlying cause. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Do you have to have ear infection to get fluid in the mastoid bone ...
Avatar f tn s just a shot in the dark as to what caused the hearing loss and how to treat it. If you remain with poor hearing in the ear but have good hearing in the other ear, you can eventually get a CROS hearing aid, a TransEar, or a Baha (bone-anchored hearing aid). I have a Baha and love it. At this point there is probably nothing you can do except wait and see if you recover any more hearing. Good luck!
293157 tn?1285873439 Physio said that he can try to help my Vertigo if it's from inner ear... I told him I went to two ENT a few years ago and they tested me with water in the ears etc..visual, hearing...etc.. and said it wasn't my inner ear..? He said if Prednisone helps stop the Vertigo then it's not inner ear..and it stops my Vertigo... but when I stop the Prednisone it comes back worst then ever...
Avatar m tn That can often be the hard part. Most commonly, associated with inflammation secondary to viral infections, allergic inflammation, irritants (cigarette smoke). There are rarer and more serious causes, like I mentioned. For adults with fluid in the middle ear that won't go away, most ENT docs consider a thorough head/neck exam (including endoscopic exam of the pharynx) as mandatory.
Avatar n tn There I was diagnosed with bronchitis and given a Z-Pac antibiotic, a Proventil inhaler, albuterol in a nebulizer and prednisone tablets. After finishing these medications I felt slightly better but still very weak, achy, no energy. I returned to my regular dr on the next visit and rales were heard in my chest with ear pain, headaches. My diagnosis was then bronchitis that turned into pneumonia, double ear infection, sinus infection.
172023 tn?1334672284 Another odd symptom is that last night, the ear in which he had the original pain has begun draining clear fluid in fairly copious amounts. He continues to complain of mild pain in this ear. The fluid looks clear, but has an odd, almost "menthol" smell to it. No blood or pus. He is not using any product of any kind in the ear. He has no vertigo at all. No loss of taste or smell.
Avatar f tn Your best bet would be to see your doctor to rule out any kid of ear infection...although my educated guess would be that you have fluid in your ear. My ears have been horribly clogged and fluid filled for over a month as a result of a bad head cold that "settled" in my ears, more or less. These kinds of symptoms are also common with sinus issues. Therefore, make an appt with your doc and have him/her have a look-see.
Avatar f tn There are only 2 things that have been shown to take care of middle ear fluid (effusion). Time and myringotomy (with or without ear tubes). Those medicines would make sense on the surface, but studies do not support their use.
Avatar n tn My hearing was normal after a couple of weeks, but my ear kept feeling as though there was fluid in it, and I could feel/hear my pulse in my ear. I have never had any pain throughout this ordeal. I finally took a five-day prescription of Prednisone but that didn't really do much. When the weather was bad outside, I would notice feel it more (I do get sinus headaches from time to time). I then went to an ENT and the pressure in my ear was normal, so there was no fluid.
