Avatar f tn Since then, my ear drums are not open, after one week i also have a sour taste in my mouth. What causes the sour taste is it swimmers ears. I am using swim sport drops for swimmers ears to dry out the water,but the ear drums only open when i put my finger in the ear and touch my eardrums, then after 30 seconds it closes again. I can hear but not so good. My eardrums do still feel wet. Is it normal that the ears have not returned to normal after 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn big difference between swimmers ear and herpes. swimmers ear is just a bacterial infection of the outer ear.
Avatar f tn Hey Ladies, so this weekend my 10 year old daughter, my DH and I went on vacation. It was really nice because as most of you know DH and I are seperated and working things out at the moment (as most of you know), but it was nice to be together as a whole family again. Anyhoo we did a lot of walking and my back was and has been killing me, and we also did a lot of swimming.
Avatar f tn (Letting gravity take over by laying on my side, chewing gum while laying on my side, hydrogenperoxide, rubbing alcohol, rubbing alcohol with vinegar and even over the counter swimmers ear drops.) My ear canal is sore and still nothing has helped. It’s annoying and things that friends have had worked aren’t working for me. Help!
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 m tn Fluid behind the ear is secondary to infection in the throat or nose which can cause a backwater effect and block a tube called eustachian tube (which has easy access to ear, nose and throat and lies at the back of the nose) and thereby leads to absorption of air in the middle ear and it is replaced by a sterile fluid in the middle ear.If your ear drum is intact, then the two infections are not related to one incident.
Avatar f tn He should follow the instructions for ear drops and complete his antibiotic course. He can use OTC Acetaminophen also for relief from pain. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said swimmer's ear cases amounted to about $500 million in annual medical costs — or roughly $200 per visit.
Avatar n tn Its not swimmers ear or sinus ? I have the same issues.

Avatar m tn last night i was experiencing what seemed to feel like swimmers ear on the right side, and when i woke up i still have ear pain but when i ran my fingers through the top right of my hair my scalp felt like some one was pulling on my hair on this one small spot. would my ear pain be triggering this?
Avatar f tn it could be fluid buildup like swimmers ear...not sure but that would be my guess.
Avatar m tn In addition I did another calculation and actually I tested negative for Mycoplasma 25 days after taking Ofloxacin. I learnt that Urine tests are pretty accurate so I strongly believe that I do not have ngu any more. But what conserns me is continuos clear discharge after I wake up. That has now happened 4 days in a row. I know that because my penis head is moist. I do not see it happening during the day - even if I have long breaks between urinating.
Avatar n tn $% nd the doctor first told me it was swimmers ear nd he gave me that ciproflexon crap nd it dont work at all any sugestions people im in sever pain plz HELP AWWWW !!!!!!!
Avatar m tn He puts me on Ofloxacin for a week. After about a week I feel better. My wife and I have sex, with her giving me oral sex. Coincidentally, about 5-7 days later she starts to complain that her throat and ear are burning, and at the same time my symptoms return. I received a swab test again for STD and negative, and a urinalysis, which says I have no bacterial infection. I am worried I have passed something on to her.
Avatar m tn I am blind in my right eye and although I suffer from a slipped cataract lens in my left eye which causes some problems with light catching the top of the lens, the vision in that eye nevertheless is 20/20. Recently I was prescribed an ear drop ofloxacin which I understand is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic which can cause double vision. After using the drug for 10 days I have developed double vision in my good eye which is very worrying.
13598916 tn?1430685515 Well lots of chiarians fly to a different state to find a NS, so I know you can fly. Not really sure of the effects since everyone is different. I do know that most of us have had our Chiari since birth (unless yours was acquired due to tumor or something), so probably not much different from any other flight if you have flown b4. I'm sure you may experience some pressure/headache issues & ear stuffiness may be more of a problem.
1458533 tn?1285685681 also it could easily be an ear infection i have experienced those symptoms when i get ear infections, i get chronic ones all the time and they always turn out to be swimmers ear for some reason,even though i am not a swimmer. Those are similar symptoms to meningitis also.You don't always have to have all the symptoms of something to have it, and sometimes symptoms might not be connected at all and you could treat them separately.
517095 tn?1214422127 My Son Lives in Milton Keynes, could be sinus trouble or an allergy, Make sure your ear is dried well after Showering or swimming , there is something called swimmers ear can make them itchy, go online and see you can get some drops in the Drugstore for that.Could be linked to the taste in the throat, get the Doc to check it out.
Avatar n tn If the membrane is ruptured, it would probably be prudent to at a topical (ofloxacin, eg). 6. Ultimately the Eustachian tube is responsible for draining the ear of fluids. So we typically blame OME on its dysfunction.
Avatar n tn On 3/21/07 she had stomach flu,5/24/07 she woke up with a bloody looking eye it's ALWAYS on the same eye (right)on the inner part of the sclera & it never spreads to the other eye,she always says it hurts & it swells up a little. Her pediatrician thought it was conjuvitis & rx Ofloxacin .3% it cleared up in 3 days.
Avatar f tn For the past few months both of my ears have felt like liquid was coming out of them. Then my right ear started hurting and popping out of no where, I let it go on for a few days thinking it would go away but it didn't so I told my parents. They put some swimmers ear drops in my ear thinking maybe it would dry up any wax causing pressure and we could take it out because we've done that before for my sister and it helped, but it only made it worse.
Avatar f tn I may have, though I'm not sure. It can be a swimmers ear (the ears) and the pressure is hitting your eyes, too. Sorry if it didn't help much, but even a shower, bath, rain, or the littlest of water in your ear could give it to you. I get terrible ear aches when i get swimmers and have to lay on a heating pad. Maybe if you try and just relax and breath. Let your ears and eyes have a small break and take a nap in a room with no noise.
Avatar f tn I would call back and ask. Swimmers ear takes a long time to heal but otitis media should feel better pretty quickly after you start on a medication. What Rx are you on?
Avatar f tn Feburary 16th I woke up with a extremely painful earache and lost my ability to hear in my left ear. I went to a walk in clinic the following day for the Doctor to briefly look into my ear and said it was "buldging" she sent me home with Doxycycline and OTC Allegra and told me to come back in 3 days if there was no improvement.
1759659 tn?1312975493 Two days ago I started to get this pain in my inner ear I have read up about the possibilities of which it could be ; Ear Infection, Swimmers Ear A Non-Burst Ear drum of a flight and a Burst Ear Drum since of these things I think that may have to go into way more detail. Firstly I was swimming in my pool under water when I heard water suction which went into my ear when I got out I tried to dispurse of this water.
Avatar m tn After having unprotected sex the head of my penis got itchy in the inside of the hole and had a very little amount of discharge. I searched the net to find the answer and the closest to my symptom is urethritis. Upon reading through the forums related to STDs, found out that some folks were prescribed with ofloxacin. Without consulting a doctor, I am self medicating now after googling what's ofloxacin is for. 3 days ago I took 2 400mg and subsequently 200mg every 12 hours.
