A member asked:

How do i know if i have an ear fluid problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See an ENT doctor.: An ENT doctor can examine the ear, and often will have an audiologist measure your hearing and ear pressures as part of the workup. This will determine if fluid is present, as well as available treatment options.
