ear infection

[angel2001]

just been to the walk in centre as i woke yesterday with immense pain in both ears. i could not touch them. as the day wore on they got worse. i could not lye on them last night and every time i fell asleep and turned on one of them i woke with a shock in my ear. i tried eating cereal this morning and simply could not as the chewing and opening of mouth made my ears sore. the nurse said i have a severe infection in both ears and am on antibiotics. my right ear is worse and i feel it throbbing the left side is jus sore. just tried having a rest cus i am so ired but laying down was not a good idea. never had ear infections before so feeling sorry for my self. they itch so bad too. if not improved by tues been told to go back to my usual gp. fingers crossed it goes soon as every step i make hurts

I believe hot water bottles to a temp that you can handle will help relieve some of the pain

thankyou i might give that ago, shame its not cold outside cus that would be bliss but its worth it if it works to be hot in bed. am willing to try anything hurts so bad. might sound like a wimp but even my sh wounds are no where near this pain. its online with when i slipped my disc and i am not kidding nt normally a moaner for pain

If it hurts to lie down, it is probably worth propping yourself up with lots of pillows, so you can sleep sitting up.

I know my mum would heat some kind of oil on cotton wool to wipe in our ears. (when we had infections), although this is what i remember from my child hood, so i could be talking rubbish

well a week today i went to the walk in and am still in pain. feel like i need putting down as i slipped my disc again yesterday. when will this end. on the good side my bdp has not been on attack at all this week so i guess thats a huge positive for me

wey hey i think it seems to be clearing, only ten days later. still sounds like i am under water at times but i can deal with that. something seems to be turning out right for the first time in ages yippee

been to gp this week as so much yuck comig out my ears. he has taken swabs and is waiting for results to see if he can fid the right anti biotics to give me as the pain has started again and the amount of yuck is horrible. three weeks of it today. why is it we have to fight the nhs so much when we knw something is wrong or in pain they should bloody listen. i dont put it on for the fun of it

swabs back got a nasty bacterial infection so drop 4 times a day, as if am going to rembemer that cant rem where i put keys half the time lol
