Dab2mydick:
Good afternoon everyone, I have an issue troubling me that I hardly sleep these past few days. For about 4 days ago, I slept and woke up with my left ear blocked, as in blocked I could hardly hear with it.

At first I took it as nothing serious, could be that water mistakenly got into it while I was showering, or could be the normal stuff that happens once in a while to which I'd have to yawn and it pops up but no! It didn't open up till the whole day went by and am getting scared already as it getting worse by the day.. I have used chloramphenicol eardrop but it's not helping matters at all.. I just bought oto-med eardrops today and hoping something good happens but still, I want to know if anyone had this issue in the past, how did u solve it

And Pls doctors and specialists in the house, help me out on this cos it's frustrating my life already. Pls pls and pls I beg u all.


Modified, pls help me move this to front page, thank you.

The wax in your ear is too thick and dry that is why. apply the ear drop diligently and chew gum on the left side of your jaw. it will fall out by itself in a few days and you would be back to normal. It happened to me on multiple occasion when i was younger because i hated using cotton buds to clean my ears..sometime i cudnt hear for as long as three weeks in the affected ear.

You are not going deaf.

I had same experience just last month

I just did that... Sori 4d late response jus dat i hardly check my email

alryt den i"d like u to reply with ur bbm or whatsapp contact thru d mail.

Go buy hydrogen peroxide... Pour lik half of d cover of d bottle inside the ear, u will feel and bubbling sensation jst lik gas, allow it bubble abit den turn the ear downwards to let d liquid come out. The hydrogen peroxide will bubble the wax out. Since d ear is blocked by a big mold of wax u have to repeat till it bubbles evrytin out.
You might feel d ear a little bit warm or slight pain, don't worry its normal.

Go to a general hospital.

Hey, it could be dirts inside your ear... Just use hydrogen peroxide for it.... Trust me bro, it's gonna work... just pour little of the hydrogen peroxide inside your ear, it'll give a pop sound.... make sure that u dont let the hydrogen peroxide in inside ur ear..... This could be scary, whats gonna come out is gonna be dirt.....Within 2-3days u it'll have gone

i had the same issue when i was in secondary school.

Your ear has been blocked by wax, you need to go to the hoapital so they can do somethng called "syringing" it is a method where they pull out the wax blocking your ear or prescribe one ear drop which softens the wax not these ones that look like eye drop am seeing in your pictures.


GO TO THE HOSPITAL! And clean your ear regularly after they remove the wax

wat d cause of d ear blockage,did d doctor tell u

ychris:

OP (Dab2mydick)

I kinda have something like this on my right ear, happened to me twice (like 10 years apart), last one was last year. Though mine was a pain in the ear, its like putting a heavy weight in the ear and as time goes by it gets worse. Though mine didn't block totally but I also hardly hear with the ear..

My mom gave me the same drug I use when it happened for the first time (I'm surprise she still remember), after using the drug, within 1 weeks it cure... I'd have give the drug name here but I don't know the name, I'll call my mom and help you ask.

bros tell him d name ooooh

op you just had wax compacted on your eardrum. use cerumol eardrop to soften it..then go to ent specialist to flush it out..I don experience am plenty times.

Maybe u mistakenly hit it on a hard surface.. Don't worry it will with time. Happened to me before.... Mine took about 3 weeks

NZAGHA:
*Doctor enters* uuhm wetin u say happen to ur ear?

Dab2myDick: ehm sir i cant really tell...

Doc: have u let any of ur friends know about it...??

Dab2myDick: ehm, ehm, i, i...

Doc: ok, i mean what did u really tell them?

Dab2myDick: wait, abeg make i check my last post on nairaland...

ur a clown i swear why making jest of him

You can ask someone help u apply olive oil while u are lying down. Allow it to stay in the ear for 10mins before sitting upright.Twice daily for 4days then see an ENT Specialist for ear syringing provided the ear is blocked wit brownish substance else See ENTspecialist without applying the oil.

its otitis media.,......

missfrancess:
ur a clown i swear why making jest of him

don't worry, after I survive this one, I'll watch out for him...

sorry, seek pmb's advice because he had similar case which he treated in u.k.

Call buhari 4 advice

I had a similar condition a couple of years ago, it turned out to be solidified ear wax. A bottle of earwax drop was given me. I applied it for two days. On the appointed day, my doctor brought out a huge syringe without a needle point, filled it with antiseptic diluted with warm water and flushed the now softened earwax out.I left the clinic no better but before I got home a pop sounded in that ear. Suddenly hearing was restored.I could hear every sound distinctly. Back home I assembled those music tracks I love but could not distinguish the lyrics syllable. Everything was now clear in my ear. You are next to testify.

BekeeBuAgbara:
I had a similar problem few weeks ago, my left ear blocked, I couldn't hear with it, i went to hospital after 4 days they examined it,
flush it and used some instruments to remove the big wax that blocked the ear. No ear drops, injection or tablets.

I asked the nurse how did you do the magic, she smiled and shake her head, because before then i tried self medication and also used cotton wool to clean the ear but it was wasted effort. I couldn't believe the little amount of money I paid.

Go to general hospital.

how much bros

just 4 days n u r complaining!!!! just 4 days n u r complaining!!!! Oga no vex me oooo. smone in aso rock has bin leaving with blocked ear since d 70s n u r hear mkin noise....

Nawa o, buhari infection strucks nairaland

I'm having the same problem in my right ear
I started using gentamicin ear drop
I hope it works
And please someone should say the procedure and time limit for hydrogen peroxide
Or how much will it cost for the ENT
Thank you

Firstly, hope you didn't fight in your dream? Maybe they dash u stunning slap? If not, then throwaway all those things you go buy. hope you're not ijebu man like me?self medications can kill us ehnn!
In summary, go and see a technician, sorry doctor,to check it up for you. Ear is too sensitive, so don't joke with it by pouring orishirishi inside.

God will heal you egbon!
And I pray you won't have to go to London just for ear checkup.

Your ear needs irrigation, with warm water. I don't know for Naija, but as a medical assistant in the US about a decade ago, I used to utilize this machine that we plugged into the wall socket. Its like a plastic gun with a long plasic tube. As I shoot the water into the ear, a suction on the gun pulls the water out. It's very effective and painless. The kids used to enjoy it.

It can only be done under the supervision of a physician. Don't try at home.

The cure na small tin...tell ya people make dem go buy big baff make them use am cover ya head make dem com begin use stick dey beat am ...make them stop after 5minutes n finalise am with hot slap...repeat d process until u begin ear wella...lol na joke o .....but that ear infection can pain like hell e happen to many yrs ago.. :'

No need taking any pill just ssk Buhari what he did to his own

The time spent to type this on Nairaland would have be better used to see a doctor. Be wise!
