Question:
I get a lot of earwax i think, And when i come out of a shower/bath espicially, Every now and then i can feel pressure against my ear drum as if something is if wax is trying to get out or something, I have been to the doctors 6 times last year about this because sometimes it got really annoying and twice last year i had two ear infections, maybe from touching it I dunno but I do know that one of the times i got an infection was when my eardrum burst on the way home from my holidays...Now as I get ready to get on the plane for another holiday my ears have been annoying me all week again, Sometimes I dunno if its my ear or my teeth on left side coz both irratate, I know sounds wierd but tis true, , It isn't really sore just annoying and irratating. Im afraid to get on that plane after what happened last time and know that my left ear is extremely fragile (I used to listen to a lot of the cd player and headphones on my way to work, I don't think that would contribute to this though, not sure) Any Suggestions of anything i could use to make my ear better or help it during my flight etc etc...I fear that I may have to go to the doctor's again and I dread going there.
Answer:
I think you need to visit an ENT. (Ear, nose and throat specialist doctor) It could be your ear, it could be in your jaw or both. Also, some people that have ear problems take a decongestant before they fly, for instance if they have a cold, etc. Might try that, but since you have an ongoing problem, try the ENT.
