Question 1

my ear ring was ripped out about 6 weeks ago.  a chunk of ear was glued back into place. how long until the ear looks normal, ?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps never: A don't understand what you mean chunk of ear was glued - i've never heard of that.  Might i suggest seeing a plastic surgeon for a consultation.

Question 2

hi i've got some issues with my ears all down my ear looks to have like blisters on both ears and is painful and tender to touch any idea what it is?

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: More background information and an exam needed to address with accuracy.  An initial thought:  metal allergy related to jewelry?  Infection would be unlikely to affect both earlobes simultaneously. A form of autoimmunity can attack cartilage, but unlikely to only effect the ear lobes. Maybe a reaction to hair product or eye glasses coming into contact with the area?

Question 3

i have had an earache in my (l) ear for over a week now.  i went to the er and the doctor said my ear looks great. usually this is a sign of a cold fo?

Accepted Answer

Earache: If ear looks ok, could be referred pain from jaw joint or throat.  In that case, avoid excessive chewing, no gum clewing, avoid hard foods for 3-5 days. Take ibuprofen. ENT MD is better equipped to tell you what is or isn't happening with your ear.

Question 4

i've been having severe nasuea and vomiting for the past 3 days now, mild heachaces, severe ear aches and today my ear bled. doc said ear looks fine.

Accepted Answer

Virus: Nausea, vomiting and headaches sounds like it could be viral. If you have however, these symptoms only in the morning, then I would worry about underlying increased pressure causing this intracranially. If your symptoms have this pattern, or do not resolve in a few more days, then please get reexamined.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

whenever i hear a loud sound, there is like a paper crushing  in my ear and a p0unding s0und. is it seri0us? pain scale 2/10

Accepted Answer

Wax: Ear wax and water could be external infection physician needs to look in ear.

Question 7

i have had a severe sore throat/ tongue for 3,days it hurts so bad that my ear aches to swallowing feels like sand paper yawning hurts throat cancer?

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can help lessen pain.

Question 8

a while ago i was cleaning my ears with toilet paper, and a piece got lodged in my ear and i cant get it out with tweezers. how do i get it out of my ear?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: There is a chance it could be floated out if you put mineral oil in the canal, but that may just mess things up more. If it is really there an ENT or GP with the proper equipment could remove it under direct vision through an operating otoscope.

Question 9

my ear is clogged with wet dripping wax. the wax is new. clogging normally goes away overnight. i'm trying to let it drip on to toilet paper.

Accepted Answer

Medication: Did you put drops in to losing your ear wax? Have you inserted any objects in your ear?  What color is the discharge?  If this continues see your doctor.  You may have an ear infection.  If you did use drops, you may need to wait a few hours to a day
