Question 1

i just put ear drops in and my ears seems water clogged is this normal!

Accepted Answer

Yes: The moisture makes it feel that there is water stopping up your ear canal.  The feeling should go away.

Question 2

i have got hearing probelms for a very long time and i put strong ear drops but my hearing is not improving how to cure it  completely?

Accepted Answer

See ENT 4 diagnosis: First we need an accurate diagnosis.Since it is not typical for someone so young to have hearing problems, a cure can not be achieved without knowing what is going on.If you have more details to provide, please do so.For example have you been to an ENT doctor and had an audiogram.What did your evaluation show or did you have infections or a congenital condition as a child?Drops may not be correct

Question 3

how can i tell how many ear drops i put in my ear?

Accepted Answer

Feel it: You should be able to feel the drops going in one by one. Do not insert the tip in your ear.

Question 4

i also have pressure i my ear and i have gone to a urgent car and that put me in a pill and ear drops but it is not helping?

Accepted Answer

Ear Pressure: Urgent care is not appropriate for such a complaint as you will not have a thorough eval of ears. You were likely reflexively started on antibiotics. You may have eustachian tube dysfunction due to congestion and developed middle ear negative or positive pressure. You may benefit from decongestant or anti-histamines. Recommend you see an ENT.

Question 5

so i put in debrox ear drops in a couple hours ago and they don't seem to be working, could i put my ciprodex ear drops in? or should i wait?

Accepted Answer

: You did not provide the reason you are using this med or why you think it is not working. A well reasoned answer to any question requires a full understanding of the issues involved, including why you thing the ciprodex may work better. You are welcome to start ove and re-post with more information.

Question 6

what if i accidentally put neomycin ear drops in my eye?

Accepted Answer

Rinse first: Use saline or tap water to rinse the eye.  If you develop pain, swelling, or blurred vision, then get it checked.

Question 7

i can't get my 4 year old to take his ear drops and he just had tubes put in last monday. should i worry? is it that important?

Accepted Answer

Ear tubes: Usually the recommendation is to avoid any fluid in the ears after installing the ear tubes, unless your doctor wants some medications given, so s/he would be the best to answer your question, wish you and your son wellness

Question 8

my father accidentally put ear drops in his nose i am worried is he going to be ok?

Accepted Answer

Ear drops: Should not be problem. Have him irrigate nose with saline solution.

Question 9

i put in some murine ear drops into my right ear, and it caused a full and stuffy feeling; will it go away?

Accepted Answer

Probably wax: The murine probably liquified the wax and its now plugging your ear. You need to let the shower water run in your ear trying to flush it. If this doesn't work you need to see an ENT doctor who can suction it out.

Question 10

my right ear and the right side of my jaw really hurt, and i don't know why. i put ear drops and the pain is still there. i clean it, so why infected?

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor: It's not clear to me whether you're describing otitis media (middle ear infection) or otitis externa (outer ear infection) or something else like eustachian tube dysfunction or temporomandibular joint disorder. That's why a physical exam is so important. Good luck! and remember not to stick cotton swabs like qtips in your ear canal!
