Is my dizziness the result of ear infections or dental infections?

Answer common. Make sure you see a doctor, just to be sure. If it is an ear infection Your dizziness could be caused by an ear infection, but if it is a dental problem, it is probably inflammation of the TMJ bone in your skull. I have TMJ problems myself, and I sometimes get dizzy, have pain that feels like it is inside my ear, and get headaches and jaw aches from time to time. Either way, you should go to the doctor and have it checked out, but if you have pain in your ears and jaw (and sometimes in your neck), and you feel and popping or clicking in your jaw, you may want to visit a dentist first.

Does swimmer's ear or an infection hurt worse?

Swimmer's ear, an outer ear canal infection, can be quite painful, often causing itching, redness, and discomfort, especially when touching the ear. In contrast, infections deeper in the ear, such as a middle ear infection (otitis media), can also be very painful, often accompanied by pressure and potential fever. The perceived pain level can vary from person to person, but many report that deeper ear infections can be more intense due to the pressure and inflammation involved. Ultimately, the severity of pain depends on the individual case and the specific type of infection.

Pour six ounces of isopropyl alcohol in to a plastic applicator bottle.

Add one and a half teaspoons of boric acid powder. Be careful not to get any boric acid on your skin or clothes. If you do, wash it off immediately. Shake the solution extremely well, until the boric acid powder is dissolved, or for five minutes, whichever comes first.

The ear cleaning solution is now ready to use. To use the ear cleaning solution: It is recommended that you use the ear cleaning solution in your garage or outdoors, as the dog will shake it out of his ears and it will fly in to the air and stain things. Squirt the solution inside your dog's ear until the ear canal is completely full. Massage the outside of the ear to help slosh the cleaning solution around inside. Release the dog and let him shake out the ear cleaning solution from his ears. If you get any of the ear cleaning solution on your skin, wash it off as soon as possible. Be sure to shake the solution up really well before each and every time you use it. The boric acid has a tendency to settle at the bottom of the bottle. Store at room temperature. Use the cleaning solution daily until you start to see some improvement. Gradually cut back to once per week when you are happy with the condition of the ear. When the ear seems completely free of infection, you can go two weeks between treatments. Warning: Do not use this ear cleaning solution on dogs with ruptured ear drums, or on dogs with open sores or wounds in the ear area. An ear exam by a veterinarian is recommended prior to beginning treatment with this ear cleaning solution.

If currently taking Amoxicillin for a double ear infection my kids all have the flu real bad will the amoxicillin help prevent me from catching the flu?

No antibiotics are effective for bacterial infections.. flu is a virus...hope you all feel better. You may have already had the flu and not really had it that bad or were the carrier of the virus as usually ear infections are derived from a viral infection such as the flu and generally follows it. I am sure you know if you have children in pre school or school you are certain to catch the viruses that they do. Children seem to not get as sick from flues as adults do and thus, you have an ear infection and that's why you are on antibiotics. THINGS TO DO FOR THE FLU: * Rest * Eat light meals * Drink lots of water and mild juices (nothing acidic.) * Talk to your pharmacist and they can recommend different flu medications that will ease some of the aching, fevers, etc., but be sure to tell your pharmacist if your children or yourself are on any other medications because other over the counter medications can cause problems with the medications you are on. * If you feel your children or yourself have a heavy chest, coughing up phlegm, hard to breath then it's time to see your doctor as sometimes flues can turn into Bronchitis or Pneumonia.
