otex made my ears worse; the best thing for ears is warm olive oil

i've got a small syringe, put a small amount of olive oil in it, fill a cup with near boiling water and wait for it to warm up, stick in ear then bit of cotton wool in ear once done

works wonders

ear ear don't make funnies out of my misfortune , wheres the stitches my sides are splitting.

yea i'v heard this before might get a syringe for when i wanna give my ears a clean out, my ears are usually good but i did have them block up a while ago and got a load of shite out of them it wasn't pretty , i think this is an infection though cos i have discharge ( it's never a nice thought) coming out my ears and they are swollen i have some antibiotics to try and clear it up i was just wondering if i was one of many like how the colds and flu have been spreading about.

Otex is for wax build up! It will make any infections/inflammations worse

duno about ear infections but i no a few people with throat and eye infections, me included

burnzy

i no i thought it was blocked at first my old dear had been to the doc's and said she had just an inflamation then i used the otex it was fizzing like there was a load of shite in there but got worse last night so stopped using it knowing it wasn't just blocked

yea everyone is i'll atm you would of thought the cold weather would of killed most of it off, my unc's work has just got a skeleton crew in atm cos so many people are off ill

Sounds like the same as my boss at the mo, his face swelled up and was tld he has an ear infection! He has lost the hearing in that ear tho which is quite ironic since he took the piss out of me....im deaf in one ear so its quite good now i can get my own back on him!!

i dread to think if i get an infection in my hearing ear! :s could put me in a rather bad position...

lol cheers for that caz i really wanted to no i had a chance of going deaf is it tempoary or has he damaged his ear drum, the doc's said my drum is ok it's my outer ear but still hurts like fook to do most things with my face like eating and talking but most people would think that was a good thing .

must of just been carma for your boss taking the piss .

i'v just had a constant ringing such a pain.

**caz**

yeh should just be temporary for him! unfortunately its permanent for me

constant ringing could be caused by the infection...but if it carries on thats the signs of "tinnitus" so make sure you keep an eye on that, altho tinnitus isn't curable it is possible to have help with tablets!

and yer its great now he knows how i feel 24/7 he shouldn't take the piss no more

i got one in turkey before, often caugt in swimming pools etc when havnt enough clorene

not good on your ear, atleast you still have hearing though, albeit a bit disorientating a times i bet .

but i might have slight tinitus but i got it the last time i had slight swelling to the ear, my job don't help cos i can do alot of drilling but nearly always wear ear protectors, i think clubs are the worst thing for my ears but look a bit of a plum in a normal club with my rave plugs in .

and yea have you been making him repeat himself loads by pretending you haven't heard him i bet payback was good

burnzy

i'v caught mine off my mom but she's also passed it onto my sister

**caz**

yeh can be a bit of a nightmare...hearing a sound not knowing what it is, and not always hearing people properly! accents are a nightmare...face to face is ok most the time cos lip reading can help but on the phone lmfao that can be quite funny but annoying! lol

haha could just imagine seeing someone walkin round ya run of the mill high street club with rave plugs in lmfao

and dont worry he is repeating everything!! EVERYTHING!! lmfao sadly most the time its cos i haven't heard him but still funny all the same!!
