Ever had an ear infection?
 

I got one, must of poked my ear with a q-tip or something.. Ea is ringing and very uncomfortable.:Oh crap

2nd only to infected teeth if it gets bad enough.

Can be totally debilitating.

Ear infections suck because the doctor makes you take an antibiotic pill every day for a month until you finish the bottle.

yes but its been a while.
i remember it being excrutiating (sp?) though

Unfortunately, I've been prone to them all my life. Blew out my ear drum last year and it was one of the most painful things I've experienced. Actually, when it ruptured, it felt great... It was before it ruptured that was so painful.

Definately get some antibiotics before it gets any worse.

Ears are tricky things to deal with...I remember waking up with a pain in my ear a while back, and after a while I decided to get up out of bed, but it totally screwed with my balance and I fainted...was really weird :Oh crap

Had it as a child. Remember the pain.

I had one. Didnt see a doctor in time and it got bad. I had 2 operations to both my ears. 2 tubes as small as a piece of hair were operated into my ears. They came out about 2 years later when it healed. I couldt swim, listen to music, drive a car and so on, all because of balance problems.

A bit of advice.
Never put a q-tip in your ear.

An ear infection is one of the most painful illness you can get....

yep, when i was younger, it hurts like hell...

I had it every year as a child. My medication would be grape or bananas. Then I had surgery and it didn't come back.

i have one now... i had an unusual obsessive compulsive attitude about farming my earwax everyday. My doctor told me not to over farm my ears LoL

I had it too when I was a kid. I can only remember the unbelievable pain and that fucking pulsation in my ear! and my left ear was taped down for weeks... But I don't remember the balance problem.
Maybe because I was drunk all the time just like now :)

not in years, thankfully.

had a lot of that shit when I was a kid. :( Not had it in a while now thank god!

oh yeah they fucking suck....here is a trick that will work though

Get a rag wet and put it in the microwave for a minute or so or until it is steaming hot, then put the rag into a cup and put that cup around your ear. The steam goes into your ear and helps tons

that cup trick almost instantly takes away the pain

i was putting some warming cream on the ear.

had it once, and it was both ears at the same time.. not fun :(

The hurt like hell. In short ear infections suck big hairy balls.

I've had ear infection to the point it perforated my ear drum :Oh crap...

Yes, I had an ear infection that caused vertigo for over a month. I couldn't walk straight and would get extremely dizzy if I moved my head too much - to the point of vomiting. It was just really horrible.

Yeah its rocking today.. Im all dizzy, head is pounding... Havent been to see a doc in awhile..

if you arent going to see a doc go to a health food store and get an ear wick...I know it sounds weird but you put it in yer ear and light it with a lighter and it sucks the wax/gunk/infection out helping the drops work better.

if you have anti biotic eye drops they will work on ears as well

if not you might try a mild solution of johnsons baby shampoo and water....

I used to do a lot of scuba diving and had recurring ear infections as a result
? they are painful and dangerous. Best to seek out a doctor and get meds (antibiotics and special ear drops)

so now you call it a q-tip ?:1orglaugh

Same here. Not fun at all. It hurt so bad that I couldn't close my mouth all the way, let alone chew. The clinching of my jaw moved my ear canal just enough that the pain was unbearable.

just the description of you made my eyes water :disgust :disgust :Oh crap

what the hell are you talking about?
