Could be a case of swimmers ear or a fungal infection of some type.  See your doctor to make sure and get treatment.  I know how bothersome this is.

yes, it acutally sounds like an infection. If it is lasting that long of a time. I would get to the doctor. They will give you a culture to make sure you don't have an STD

You probably blew some air up your Eustachian tube into your ear. That can happen if there is enough pressure in the nose blowing. The air gets trapped there, but will eventually leak back out. This is not an uncommon problem, and generally, harmless. But if there is any bacteria that gets blown into the ear when you do this, it could lead to an ear infection. So, the lesson to learn here is to not blow your nose that hard. If your ear is still hurting in a few days, you might want to see a doctor to make sure you don't have an inner ear problem.

sorry, never heard that one before, my hubby has been diabetic  for many years, on insulin, and has yet to have an ear infection, maybe you should double check with your  doctor, he would worry me if he told me something like that,there are a lot (6) of my family members who are diabetic as well who are not prone to ear infections, good luck dear, i have a feeling you are going to need it,God Bless!!

If it is due to extra water in your ears, which happens alot more than people think, there is an over the counter medication called "swimmers ear" that will help. I used to get really bad infections and I tried using this when I got out of the shower or after I went swimming and it REALLY helped.

There's a tube connecting the middle ear to the mouth. I haven't heard of pus visibly tracking down this tube but if it's coming from your middle ear then it could be otitis media (but this should generally hurt and you may have a temperature with or without some change in your hearing). If it is otitis media it should be treated with antibiotics to prevent chronic otitis media. I read somewhere in a closed question a person describing a pustulent discharge from a perforated ear drum and the 'best answer' said nothing had to be done about it as it was a few days old which is not best medical practice.

Yes, please see a doctor! It's very easy to injure your ear drum with q-tips. Damage is irreversible if you don't see a doc promptly.

Yes.  You'll need to go to the doctor to get the correct antibiotic.  Last middle ear infection I had I was given antibiotic ear drops instead of pills and it worked great!

It sounds like you have had an infection or virus in your sinuses and ears and it is draining down.  You should see your doctor to have it evaluated to see if it is an infection which is usually treatable with antibiotics, but a virus is not. A fever and colored drainage is a good sign it is infection, but again have a doctor look at your throat and ears and get a culture if needed.

It could be tinnitus and you should see your doctor--unless maybe you still have the earbud to your ipod in it?

Sounds like it might be a perilymphatic fistula; which is a rupture of the tissues of the inner ear, and the symptoms are similar to Meniere's.   I also recommend a Neurotologist as your next consultation.

ok. well i have had chronic ear infections all my life, and i have one right now, with the same ear crap that you have, and yes, it can take a month or so . :[ but it usually only last about three weeks.\nwhen you breath is it really loud inside your mouth?\nis your ear sooooo stuffed that it almost feels like its not there, or like it is stuffed with clay? if so then it WILL last at least a month :[\nbut dont be scared, or think you are going deph, because it always seems to clear up.\nalso you might want to try pulling your ear lob straight outward, because this might help open the canal. also try not to lay on either of your sides when sleeping, try to lay proped up on your back.\n   I really hope this gets better for you!!! because i know that when I have it [like right now] i get soooo depressed and basically cant do anything. :[\ni hope i helped! good luck.\nbtw if u need any additional information my aim screen name is o0CheapAndChic0o\nand my myspace url is : http://www.myspace.com/true_dork

I very much doubt it- sounds like you have flu or the like.  It would be best to get checked out by your doctor.

I'm not sure you have a cold.  My daughter started out the same way and has been ill for the past 4 weeks.  The doctor told her she has a bacterial infection and put her on antibiotics.  She has been awfully weak, like you, had coughing spells, then she came down with the sniffles and ear infection.  I suggest you see a doctor and have him prescribe the proper medication.  You may need to give a blood sample to determine if it is a cold or an infection.  In either case, I hope you see a professional and get the help you need.  Get well soon!!!!
