In reply to Ashley Prouse. Hi Ashley. As stated in the article above, there are several different causes of the symptoms that he is experiencing. Glue ear or otitis media need to be considered here but this has to be assessed by a doctor as your reports may not include all aspects of the condition. Hopefully your nephew is seeing an otorhinolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat or ENT specialist). The tubes that he had in previously are most likely no longer in place and his current episode may be entirely different.

Hi,
My nephew is having problems with his ears. He had tubes put in about a year ago. Its draining, has a little foul smell to it. And his ears are swollen. What could be making this happen?.

Hi cj. You should seek medical attention immediately. It is possible that the pus and pain is not related to your surgery as so many years has passed. The only way to know for sure is for your doctor to assess you. Delaying can lead to serious complications (depending on the cause). Hopefully you have already seen a medical professional by now.

hello my 22 month son had bilateral tubes placed about 6 weeks ago.
day of surgery he had very bad active bialteral ear infection.
he was given antibiotic ear drops 10 days bid
that didnt help, they changed it to ciprodex again 10 days bid
since this we have been back to ENT, where they suction more puss from both ears, right still being the worse.
after that he was seen at his pediatrician, aagain for drainage and puss, ears still infected , told to go back on ear drops.
last night I was cleaning his ears before putting drops again, and noticed both ears crusty, and right ear still has drainage and puss.
i dont think this is normal !
Im worried about hearing loss in right ear
help ?

In 2006 I was taking a scuba diving class and coughed under water pushing water into my inner ears. I had a double ear infection. Ever since I feel like there is glue inside my ear. I was diagnosed with eustation tube dysfunction by azu university. How can I still have this problem 10 years later? There has always been clicking if I swallow from all the glue in there. I stopped going to the ent cause all they do is give me nasal spray. I DONT HAVE ALLERGIES. I moved from up north to south with no change and its year round no change, no sneezing, no itchy eyes. I need help. Can you recommend a GOOD ent doc in az that will help me solve this problem once and for all and do real tests? Not just assume its allergies. Accchs. I also get clear fluid drainage in the morning after I wake up, no color no smell. I get headaches radiating. From where my skull meets my c1. I don’t know if the leakage is from my cerebral fluid, I doubt it but my quality of life is so much worse than before. Everything since is slightly muffled from all the “glue” in there. Help.

I never had ear wax issues until I did one of those saline nasal flushes and ended up almost deaf in one of my ears. After reading up about the nasal flushes, they are not good for all people. After I got my full hearing back, my ears canals started to get itchy and I’d feel fluid draining from them, coming down to the enterace/exit of the ear. It felt like when your ears get clogged when swimming, then at night u lay down with that ear facing downward, on the pillow, and all of a sudden you feel the fluid drain out and u can hear again. It’s bothers some, so I use the top of my finger with a little tissue paper or paper towel covering it, and yes, I stick it in my ear. Not far, just a very little, and wiggle my finger around, I feel like I look like a dog scratching it’s ears. This actually draws the fluid out onto the paper, like wiping up a spill, it’s absorbed. I have to repeat this a few times, to real feel like my ear canals are drier. This happens at least once everyday. The paper towel is colored lights get yellow, no blood, no green infection. So, I wonder if the nasal flush did something, not necessarily damaged some part of the ear and nose parts, but I feel like it opened something up, allowing was to drain out more. Anyone else have this reaction o the nasal cleanse?

A couple of years ago I had a recurring ear infection which eventually went away, but ever since I have had thick, yellow, foul smelling discharge from one ear, and some hearing loss. My hearing seems muffled in that ear. Sometimes the ear is itchy. There is no pain or swelling. What could this be?
