Ear Infection

It means you need to see a doctor.

A red outer ear can be caused by an outer ear infection or from getting hit. If the redness does not go away, consult your physician.

The sinus membranes are semipermeable and only certain ABs can penetrate them.

(I took Ceclor in 1985 for a winter sinus infection and it worked, but a friend had a serious reaction to it on his fifth dose and I took him to the ER for treatment which included steroids and antihistamines and the warning to avoid the drug forever. At that time some 30-plus people had died from Ceclor, but BIG PHARMA has so much political influence that the bods have to really pile up to get an approved drug taken off the market)

So, you can't just take some leftover ABs from the medicine cabinet for a sinus infection. Most ABs are ineffective for sinus infections. Go to the doctor and ask for something, preferably something other than Ceclor.

Ear infections require great care and that usually means ABs in the form of eardrops (possibly in conjunction with oral meds) and (one thing that's often overlooked is) great care should be taken to prevent any bath, shower, river, lake or pool water from entering the ears. If water gets in your ears you should carefully dry them with cotton swabs to avoid problems. (the level of germs in municipal or well water can fluctuate depending on many factors and even "good water" supplies can have high levels of bacteria at certain times)

All water has microbes in it, and if one is prone to ear infections then water in the ears should be completely avoided. If you swim in lakes or pools (or go cave diving) then a peroxide solution should be used after ward and that's if you have no problem with ear infections. Bubble bath soap should never enter the ear canal, and unless the tub is sterilized with industrial high pressure steam cleaning equipment I never submerge my ears in a tub. (Germs thrive in tubs even if the tubs are gleaming and appear to be clean)

It's ill advised to plug the ears before swimming because the pressure must be equalized if your head is submerged, so if you are prone to ear infections it's best not to swim. Better to splash around in shallow water and always keep your head completely dry.

In the middle of the night I work up with my ear itching. After pushing a million times on the cartilage covering the hole to my ear, I awoke in the morning to pain and muffled hearing. As a medical student I took a deep breathe from the crying and the pain and thought about what was occurring. I believe my ear was irritated whether from wax, particles, etc. I irritated the canal as well as the membranes. My ear didn't hurt to the touch but was sore on the inside.

I took 2 ibuprofen for the swelling.

Mixed 1 part water to 3 parts Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) on the bottle and heated it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Put it in my ear, then let it out. The warmth helped loosen any wax.

Then I put Hydrogen Peroxide (without water) into my ear and let it sit for 10 minutes, while laying down on the opposite side.

I poured it out into a tissue and lay ed on my sore ear to allow the remaining Hydrogen Peroxide to drain.

Although this process will have to be completed for the next couple days, I can honestly say that I went from having a pain level of 8 to a 1. There is still some popping in my ear and it is still a little muffled but I will continue to take ibuprofen for the next couple days and use Hydrogen Peroxide in the mornings.

*Be careful not to use Hydrogen Peroxide for a long period of time, you can dry out your eardrum.

yes, std's can cause many things.

If you get a cut or a open wound, you can get dirt in there.

The first sign of any infection is a rise in temp. As a general rule the greater the infection, the higher the temp.

yes ear infections causes pain and the pain is what actually makes you nauseated.

The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear cavity to the nasopharynx. It aerates the middle ear system into the nasopharynx. Normal opening of the Eustachian tube equalizes atmospheric pressure in the middle ear, closing of the tube protects the middle ear from unwanted pressure fluctuations and loud sounds

young people dont hve the strength to control this feeling. its causes aids and herpes.

One of the main causes for ear infections is clogging the eustachian tube with mucous by blowing the nose too vigorously or by blocking a sneeze. If you have one infected ear, you will probably get it in both if you continue forcing mucous back up the eustachian tube of the other ear.

If your pug has a yeast ear infection you need to take it to the vet for antibiotics and medicated ear drops. It is sometimes recommended as an additional home remedy for human babies with thrush in their mouths, but I would not suggest this at all for pugs. You need to take your pug to the doctor!
-Yogurt will help a yeast infection. Antibiotics will only work and be needed if there is a bacterial infection. Chronic ear infections in pugs (I have 2) are usually actually an allergy to the grains in their food which is also something to explore with your vet. We do grain free food and yogurt everyday.-

I have gotten in airplanes with ear infections, the worst that happened to me was my ear ache got extremely unbearable. You should get your ear infection treated before you fly, or take a good container of Ibuprofen with you for the pain.

some common symptoms for an ear infection in a dog is scratching the infected ear and shaking the head. a weak, hoarse bark and a cough could be symptoms of a common cold, and should pass; if not consult a veterinarian.

A 1997 study at the University of North Carolina found that 31% of the children in a sample of 346 children in daycare required myringotomy with tube insertion as compared to 11% of 63 children cared for at home.

Ciprodex is an ear drop medication that contains ciprofloxacin and dexamethasone, primarily used in humans for ear infections. While it may be prescribed off-label by a veterinarian for cats, it's essential to consult a veterinarian before using it on your cat's ear infection. They will determine the appropriate treatment based on the specific condition and needs of your pet.

Yes, those very well could be symptoms of an infection, an allergy, or one of a number of different aliments, without seeing the animal for myself, I can not say for sure what it could be. Please get your companion to the vet ASAP.. Especially, if the symptoms have become presistent and/or severe..

It can be, it can also be "Tinitis"( treatable with 'Ginkgo Biloba' )

you can mix wax and water and put it on the dogs ear for 2 hours then remove

It is not really possible to tell that Swimming caused this condition.

It is not likely to be caused by swimming in salt water.

Fresh Water however (not chlorinated as in a public bath) might expose you to various bacteria that ultimately might cause an ear infection or other infectuary problems.

Statistics can be used in order to determine the likelihood of an infectious disease spreading from a particular place.

If a doctor get many people with similar conditions after swimming in the same place/water, then this increases the likelihood of this.

No.

It hurts a lot though.

Inner Ear Infections don't hurt as much, however, they can cause permanent damage to your hearing.

• by resting and that is all i THINK!

Sometimes it depends on the type of dog, you would have to talk to your vet or a specialist

The surgeon scratches the undersurface of the eardrum, stimulating the skin to heal and the eardrum to close
