Anyone ever had issues with chronic ear infections or swimmers ear?
I have had them all my life, as an infant to a crazy older lady...
They used to occur 3-4 times a year, then I got custom ear molds about made about 8 years ago for swim and showers, and down to maybe 1 every 12-18 months. Last week I started feeling the usual fluid in my ear and tenderness, so I’ve been keeping my head out of the pool water and still wearing my earplugs. Today, it’s officially a full blown ear infection and the ENT used the little vacuum tube to drain it.
You all are so resourceful and I was hoping maybe you all had some suggestions that I could take to an ENT dr or fix on my own.
In all the years you never went to the doctor??
Maybe you should now and explain all the past troubles before long lasting damage occurs.
Yes, I go to the ENT doctor every time. As a kid they used to just give me antibiotics. As an adult, I tell them to drain the fluid with the microscopic vacuum. They never have any suggestions though, just to avoid swimming...
