Usually the discharge is yellow to brown and has a foul odor and can affect hearing and balance or may be reported as dizziness. Chronic otitis media is also called ‘glue ear’ due to the thick, sticky discharge.
Antibiotics may be necessary for long standing bacterial infections.
Corticosteroids may be necessary to reduce swelling and secretions.
If I had chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction, would it not most likely cause Otitis Media or be detectable upon ear exam. I have had bilateral ear fullness and crackling, unable to pop the ears for almost a years now. My physician said my ears look fine. I am concerned about possible adenoidal hypertrophy as a possibility.
Lyme and Syphilis tests were negative (though the p14 protein in case of Lyme disease test was positive). I had a very bad otitis media in February-March 2015. After that, a tinnitus remained in my right ear. Now, the otitis reappeared (both ears).
Besides these investigations, I went to the psychiatry and took meds for anxiety and depression with no results. Actually, they worsen my condition.
It only hurts on the outside so I know for a fact it is not otitis media. I just put hydrogen peroxide on where I picked at it and I can hear it bubbling. I looked in the mirror to see that my ear was red. I never had anything like this and I am seeing my doctor next week, but right now I am anxious. It only hurts when I touch it and when I lie down on a pillow. Does anyone have a clue what this could be? It's so new to me...the only ear disorder that I am familiar with is otitis media.

hi,this could be otitis media along with cervical spondyolosis.Otitis media is collection of fluid which is usually a sequelae to viral infection.Cervical spondylosis is degenerative disease of cervical vertebrae.
Although,headache is associated with otitis media but restriction or pain during neck movement is rarely seen.Otitis media is treated with antibiotics,anti histaminics along with analgesics.
also the ER doctor stated that he did not think it was vertigo that i was experiencing, he diagnosed me with otitis media and gave me an antibiotic. however, i stopped taking to antibiotic due to increased anxiety which has subsided since stopping the antibiotic, although i am not positive that the anxiety was caused by the antibiotic, i am still not taking it. i saw my gp, and he advised that i discontinue the antibiotic as well, and told me to just wait it out and see what happens.
Itching, and a feeling of fullness inside the ear - usually the first sign of infection * Swelling of the ear canal * Watery discharge from the ear * Severe pain and tenderness in the ear - especially when moving the head and jaw, or gently pulling the earlobe. Unlike a middle ear infection (otitis media), the pain of an ear canal inflammation or infection is worse when you chew, when you press on the "tag" in front of the ear, or when you wiggle your earlobe.
Whups, I wrote "inner ear" above, but my antibiotics prescription says "otitis media", so I guess it's the middle ear that's affected.
However discharge may also be caused by a minor irritation or infection. The common causes of ear discharge are eczema, otitis externa, otitis media, mastoiditis or a ruptured or perforated eardrum. An ear examination may be helpful for determining the correct cause of your symptoms. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
Hello everyone, I am 17 years old male and for the last 4 days I've been sick with otitis media. Mostly everyday I've got high fever (like 100-101 F). My normal blood pressure is around 120/80, but since I am sick it is 138/82.. Can it be that the illness causes my bp to rise or something? I also feel palps sometimes, dunno if that can also be caused by the illness...

Whether you should take it for a sinus infection is a better question. Sinusitis is second behind otitis media as the most over-diagnosed condition here in the States. Most people who say or even have been told by their doctor that they have sinusitis, in fact don't. I know this because of the huge number of people who get referred to me with this diagnosis, who upon CT scanning, don't have sinusitis.
re probably have an upper respiratory track infection (not HIV related) and it causing your middle ear to develop another infection/Acute Otitis Media=middle ear infection, this can happen because there's a link via a tract from your pharyng to your middle ear.
About your groin discomfort, I can't tell you anything but certainly it's not HIV related too...
Just go to your GP and discuss your symptoms with him/her...
Be well
GOD Bless!

Hi. I'm curious if you were able to see the doctor about this and what they said! My understanding is that this could be something as simple as a pimple. Sign, pimples. What a pain! But also something like 'swimmer's ear'. Acute otitis media also could cause it. Since she was sick in general, I hope the doctor was able to diagnose her. I'd be really curious what the outcome was.
On Friday, June 11th, I was diagnosed with otitis media (middle ear infection) and placed on Augmentin and pain reliving drops. I am still experiencing pain as if someone is stabbing me in the ear, it is keeping me awake, and my ear is completely blocked with what feels like fluid. I stil feel awful and cannot get comfortable at all.
Should I return to the doctor? My ear is hurting me a lot and I am having pain into my kneck and terrible headaches.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
