Is is possible to get an ear infection after having your ears syringed.
Also, do you have to have pain in the ear during an ear infection?
Finally, if you did have an ear infection did it affect your balance?
Thanks in advance.

Both myself and members of my family suffer from ear infections regularly.
My husband recently was falling over and screaming in pain, doctor suggested it was wax, told him to put drops of tepid olive oil in his ears and then get them syringed ,which he did. A lot of wax came out and then an infection was found to be behind the wax, a coarse of antibiotics did the trick,.
Now he puts olive oil in his ears regularly and syringes them his self .
Seems to be working
If you suspect an infection seek medical attention as infections can seep through to the brain membranes in severe cases.
Good Luck

Absolutely yes, to all. I once had an ear infections so bad, and painful, but i used garlic oil and the pain soon disappeared and the infections left also, but it took longer to get rid of but has never returned since. The medicine the doctors gave me made my heart hurt, so that is when i decided to try the garlic oil treatment I had read about. To make your own just slice up garlic cloves in olive oil, put in frig., then it should be ready in a day. Apply it 2-3 times per day. Good Luck!
