Question Posted Saturday October 13 2007, 10:50 am
I don't know why but my left ear hurts occassionally. It is a sharp low, dull pain. I think I might have causes it because I got the feeling of not being able to hear from one ear- the feeling you get if you dunked your head in water and one of your ear seems to be cloggy. I pinched my nose and blew from my nose- but since I pinched it air came out of my ear. (ever happen to anyone of you?) but it is weird i know but it helps, my ear didn't clog up anymore but now, my ear gets this pain. I'm afraid it is something bad, does anyone know about this?
I agree with the others; you should see a doctor. If it is a buildup of wax, the cure sounds worse than it is. Basically, the doctor sticks the type of a large syringe into your ear and pushes water out, gently forcing it into your ear canal so that it flushes out the gunk inside. It can be a tiny bit painful--more uncomfortable than anything--but it's quick and easy.

But you deffinately need to go. It might be something more serious, and if it is, the sooner you go the better. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
