this should help: 1) pick up a phone 2) dial your local doctor or ear doctor 3) ask that same question 4) simple?

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.

In my AB they are, I'm going to switch to a grain-free dog food to try and get it to stop...we'll see.

I AM NOT A VET. I found this recipe on the web after nothing else worked for my dog. THIS WORKED.

Ingredients: White vinegar Powdered boric acid Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) Betadine antiseptic (or the generic version, known as Povidone-Iodine Solution) Please note: do not use "Betadine Scrub", use "Betadine Solution" Directions for mixing the solution together:

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.

Add two ounces of white vinegar. Shake the solution some more, until the boric acid powder is dissolved, or for another five minutes, whichever comes first.

Add one teaspoon of the Betadine antiseptic, and shake it up some more. Be careful not to get any Betadine on your skin or clothes. If you do, wash it off immediately.

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.

Do not self medicate, if you have a medical problem go and see a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor) about your problem. The Doctor has bee trained for at least 6 years to be able to diagnose and treat what is wrong with you.

Use of medications without the supervision of a Doctor is dangerous and contributes to medicines becoming ineffective as pathogens evolve to tolerate them.

goto the vet

look at the expiry date.

No i dnt know thats y i m asking u n

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.

You should go to your vet and they will give your dog the appropriate medication for its ear infection. My dog use to have chronic ear infections and it really isn't something you should mess around with trying home remedies etc. I realize it may be a cost issue but your pet is important and its hearing is very important to it as your hearing is important to you - your vet maybe able to arrange a payment plan if you cannot afford it so I encourage you to get a prescribed med.

you may have got an infection if you have used or shared some body elses earing...

Depending on what you're eating, It may not be the ear at all, it might be the jaw. There is a bone that runs from the middle of the ear to the jaw and even though you don't feel anything around your jaw, it may be the reason your ear hurts. It might help if you had a doctor check it out though.

No pls dont do such kind of things, it may effect to its DNA,

No it can not. Only if the Outer ear gets the infection too.

Pain is perfectly normal. You can soak them in sea salt+water or just warm water to lessen the pain. Don't fool with them so as not to aggravate them.

If the earrings are green maybe... Oh and if its fake. Yeah, especially that. Also, and this one is important, if you keep it on the whole time green mold MIGHT grow. Be scared.

Take you baby to see a doctor do not try to treat an ear infection yourself.

I advise you to take your little one to the doctor instead of relying on idiots from the internet. Use your brain a little better than that!

An ear infection can definitely be a sign of HIV. However, it is not common. When people get ear infections, it usually is not because they are suffering from HIV.

fungal infection of the ear

Um... it depends on how severe it is.

I've had braces for almost 2 years now, and I've never had this happen to me, nor have I heard of anyone else who had ear pressure problems resulting from their braces.

here is a of a case of 11-year old Holly Ulrich of Minnesota. Holly, an apparently healthy girl, had a simple impacted bicuspid, so an orthodontist applied stainless steel braces.

On July 13 the top braces were installed. Shortly after these upper braces were installed, Holly complained of a pain behind her ear and that her "eyes watered." (Headaches are a common complaint with new braces wearers and are not considered a serious symptom of anything!)

Seven days later the lower braces were installed. Within a few days after that installation the left side of Holly's face became paralyzed. Her left eye would not close, her right eyelid closed down and her mouth was distorted into a grimace.

The family took Holly to the pediatrician. Julie Ulrich, her mother, told Search for Health that she "felt the braces had something to do with the problem." The pediatrician dismissed the braces as a cause of the facial paralysis and referred the Ulrich family to a "child" neurologist. This specialist also dismissed the mother's question about whether the braces may have had a role in this problem and referred Holly to an "adult" neurologist. This expert also ruled out the braces and referred Holly to an ear, nose and throat specialist.

The consensus of medical opinion diagnosed Holly with "Bell's Palsy." This is a facial paralysis named after Sir Charles Bell and the experts say it can be caused by trauma, injury or virus. In Holly's case they said it was a virus.

It gives one pause to think, when the medical experts admit that trauma or injury can cause Bell's Palsy, yet they give the obvious trauma of braces short shrift in this case, and likely in other cases. Millions of applications of braces clamp down on children's teeth, and some adults too, each year and the specialists are quick to point out that "nothing adverse happens" to the wearer.

Well, nothing we may notice. But I've yet to talk with the product of orthodontia who didn't complain of "headaches."

Also, has anyone questioned why so many millions have crooked teeth these days? God did not create crooked teeth. We have done something to interfere with optimum development in our children. Could it be malnutrition and pollution?

Anyway, back to Holly Ulrich.

For 10 weeks the medical specialists sought valiantly, but unsuccessfully, to isolate a virus, and at the same time young Holly was socked full of steroids, but showed no improvement.

Her mother related how terrifying it was to hear one of the doctor's tell her that a percentage of the damage to Holly appeared to be "permanent."

At about the nine-week mark, Julie Ulrich was beside herself with concern. She called her best friend's brother, who happened to be a neurologist who had served his residency at Mayo Clinic. He told her to "diligently pursue the braces" as a possible cause.

Returning to the orthodontist, who was appalled at Holly's condition, Mrs. Ulrich was told: "There is no way the braces could have caused the problem."

Intuitively, Mrs. Ulrich continued to suspect the braces despite the powerful and arrogant assurances of the various experts. Then she heard about Gary Jacobsen DDS of Minneapolis, who happens to be a disciple of Hal Huggins DDS one of the leading modern mavericks taking on the profession.

Dr. Jacobsen urged her to have the braces removed as soon as possible. To him, the girl's system was obviously incompatible with a material in the braces, or the electrical circuitry generated by the metal braces in her particular mouth caused adverse nerve reactions.

The family orthodontist agreed to remove the braces, but was not convinced it was even remotely related to the palsy. Two days after the braces were removed Holly hopefully pointed out that when she pinched her face that "it felt different."

After seven days she had movement in the paralyzed portions of her face and she was on the road to recovery.

The ear, nose and throat specialist saw her at this time. It was a different doctor, not familiar with the case. He noted that what he was seeing in Holly "did not go along with the chart."

"We had the braces removed," Mrs. Ulrich said.

The specialist did not see any reference to braces in the charts and, as Mrs. Ulrich reports, he "hemmed and hawed, but didn't have any comment."

The braces were removed October 6, 1992. By October 19 Holly was virtually back to normal. To his credit the family orthodontist planned to "write the case up and turn it in."

(I have also have problems from braces and don't know what I should do)

I have had braces for 2 years and i have had ear pressure problems so maybe but i dont know SRY

I have had braces for almost a year and a half and recently I have begun to suffer from ear pressure and jaw problems. Since I had no trouble before the braces, I have a feeling that their must be some relation.

I have had braces for almost two years and just earlier this month I've started to have problems opening and closeing my jaw. Also throbbing and slight pain near my ear. It got better when I stopped wearing my rubber bans for a few days. I just had my braces tightened and now even if I don't wear my rubber bans it's happening. If it doesn't stop soon I'm going to go to my doctor. My cousin after having her jaw stretched instead of teeth pulled developed permenant tmj problems. My father as well has permenant tmj problems after a fall. My father and cousin are not related so I'm worried that in both sides of my family we might be prone to tmj problems. If that's true I'm worried that my braces could cause me to have tmj problems. This site talks about your tmj: http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/topics/tmj.cfm
