Why is your balance off when you have an ear infection? i have one where fluid is coming out of my ear does this make me wobbly/ hard to balance?

Yes: While a middle ear infection will not make you too wobbly, extension of the infection into the inner ear or vestibular (balance) system will make you dizzy . Fluid coming put of your ear has to be either from an infection of the ear canal or a perforated eardrum with a middle ear infection. Accompanying vertigo suggests the latter. See your MD.
