I have an ear problem, me and my brother in fact.
Symptom:
Aggressive and repeated itching of the ear
During any time of the day, at times a type of liquid is produced after itching.

Is normal or do we have a problem if so what is it and how can I make it better?

I would recommend seeing an Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) Specialist at your earliest convenience. It sounds like you may have a slight ear infection, but without the advice of a medical professional, one may never know.

Ear infections are quite common, in fact, and simple activities like swimming and showering can leave behind residue which produces infection if not cleared out of ears before bacteria has an opportunity to accumulate. Even certain small insects have made a home in the ear canals of unsuspecting people. Things just happen.

In short, consider a visit to your local ENT as soon as possible.

Good luck!

It's defiantly not common, i know someone who had an ear infection, doctors said he couldn't go under water for most of his life, until he made a decision to get surgery.

For you and your brother both assuming this was obviously cheaper than getting your doctor and asking for help, your ear infection must be pretty bad if you're asking yahoo,

And if your not at least going to your doctor about this, you could at least search this problem and its symptoms on a site the is made by professionals, and by now, its obvious that no doctors are here to answer your question now.

Or you could just clean your ears out with hydrogen peroxide. I've heard people say you aren't supposed to do that, but my mom did it to us when we were little and now that's how I clean my own ears as an adult. I do that instead of pushing all the wax back with a q-tip, it's much more effective. Sometimes my ears itch and I'll just clean them with hydrogen peroxide and they don't anymore. Just lay your head to one side, fill the cap of the peroxide bottle with peroxide and pour the capfull in your ear. It will tickle and tingle because of all the bubbling (cleaning). Just turn your head over and dump it out (on a towel of course) when the bubbling stops. I even cleaned my cat's ear with it when she had an infenction and it helped her infection clear up quicker than by using the meds from the vet alone. Even the vet didn't was ok with it.

Sounds like you have allergies. I have them and I get the same thing along with an itchy throat, eyes, and nose. Try taking an over the counter allergy medecine. It may not make it go away completely but it will help with the itchyness. The liquid is your ears defence to stop the allergen from going further into your ear and to try and stop it from itching you. Hope that helps and let me know if it works when you try it. :)
