Ear problems?

Question

I keep getting a sore ear which leaks out some sort of smelly liquid, then it heals, then it comes back?

Answer 1

It sounds like otitis externa (infection of the ear canal) You need a medic to have a look in your ear for a correct diagnosis.

Keep it clean, dont poke anything in your ear and dont put your head under water until you have been given some advice.

Good luck

i know how you feel i've just come from hospital today i had an operation on mine it's a perforated ear drum you have sometimes they heal themselves . i have to get my other ear done in six months what ever you do try not let water in to the ear . you can get some ear drops they help but they dont cure it . i've had this problem on and off for nearly thirty years i'd go to the doc and get it sorted now if i was you . the operation is only a minor one i went in yesterday and came out this morning . i bet when you have the problem every time someone shuts a door or a cupboard or any kind of thumping noise it gives you a right headache

Answer 4

It sounds like you have been having middle ear infections that have perforated your eardrum. Get yourself to an ENT (ear, nose and throat doctor) for the most appropriate treatment.
