Answer 2

I too get alot of them so I'll tell you what to do then, see r Dr. for
an appt. for Specialist ok? For 1 & 1/2 - 2 weeks each night with
an eye dropper and r own lil container of Olive Oil put put 3-4 of
drops in the ear/orboth if they're infected, then contton balls, to be
heigenic lay a towel on a clean pillow case for drops to stay in the
ear-canal. R scenario I think is wax build up and I use Q-Tips. The instructions r to speed up the process, as after u see Dr. &
he says u have wax-build up, I'll call a Specialist r a step ahead
as the wax has to soften & go down the canel before he'll suck it
it out with the machine, or it'll be hardened, won't hurt just feels
strange & ticklish. I was knife attacked, raped, & beaten beyond
recognition in a bathroom, that's why I have 60% hearing loss &
have wax build up & a hearing test, u maybe sent 4 that too. I think as I do, u should wear a scarf to protect them. My nerve is
broke on my left side so a hearing-aid can't support it! But we can save r's, 2 per lifetime, hope this helps you & Good Luck!

There is nothing that can be done about the inner ear infection except with an antibiotic. Taking Tylenol will help relieve the pain also you might want to lay on a heating pad. The warm heat will ease the pain also.... Good Luck.....
