Excessive Fluid from Ear: Causes and Solutions

Q: What can you not do after eardrum surgery?

For around 2 to 4 weeks, or until your doctor gives the all-clear, refrain from intense activities like bicycling, running, lifting weights, or aerobic exercise. Avoid leaning over and making rapid head movements for the first two or three days following surgery. You could feel lightheaded as a result of these behaviors.

Q: How long does it take to recover from eardrum surgery?

Recovery from a complete tympanoplasty procedure might take two to three months. Your doctor could use a vacuum to gently clean the ear canal at the first post-surgery appointment to examine the repaired eardrum. Until this packing dissolves, the hearing will likely be worse than before the operation.

Q: What are the risks of eardrum surgery?

Surgery for eardrum risks are: Tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing in the ear, frequently gets better with time but can occasionally become permanent. However, there are potential hazards, such as a wound infection, which can result in discomfort, bleeding, or fluid leakage. If you have these symptoms, visit the hospital or your doctor's office.

Q: What is the success rate of eardrum surgery?

Eardrum repairs are often quite successful. Tympanoplasty results in a successful recovery in more than 90% of patients. If your middle ear bones and your eardrum need to be repaired during surgery, the results might not be as good—as eardrum piercing.

Q: How do you sleep after tympanoplasty?

For the first week following surgery, it is advised to sleep with your head raised. In the middle ear cavity and behind the ear, this lessens edema. You can use two or three pillows while sleeping on the bed or put many pillows under the mattress.

Q: How do you wash your hair after ear surgery?

For one week, avoid washing your hair. To do this, use a Q-tip and a solution of half hydrogen peroxide and half water. After washing, apply Neosporin Ointment or the ointment your doctor has advised to the incision area. No drops of water should enter the ear until it has fully healed.

Q: Is tympanoplasty a major surgery?

The smallest of the procedures is this one. Adults get it done in the office, whereas kids do it under anesthetic. A biological tissue paper patch is applied over the hole and secured with a drop of blood or ointment after the hole's margins have been inflamed with a tool or mild acid.

Q: How long after tympanoplasty Can you hear?

After tympanoplasty, a full recovery may take two to three months to complete. Your doctor will do a thorough hearing test for at least 8 to 12 weeks after the surgery. The hearing will start as the packing material gradually dissolves to its total capacity.

Fluid escaping your ear frequently might signify an ear infection named otitis externa. Earache, itchiness, and muffled hearing are typical symptoms. The wise action is avoiding inserting objects in your ear and maintaining dryness. Should the issue persist, consulting an ENT specialist for proper treatment could be necessary.

Sir namskar I am 27 year old. I have a problem in my nose when I ct scan that it comes polypoidal mucosal thickening noted in bilateral maxillary sinuses. Is it a cancer simtom.because it was bleeding max days 10 to 15 years

Female | 27

However, because you mentioned bleeding for many years, it's important to consult an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and proper treatment.

I have glandular fever and was wondering if I should go into hospital or if there’s anything I can do to lessen the symptoms as my tonsils are very swollen and it hurts to talk and swallow my saliva as well as eat and drink

Female | 17

Glandular fever, also known as infectious mononucleosis, could be causing your symptoms. This viral illness makes tonsils swell and hurt badly. You may have a sore throat, swollen glands, and feel exhausted. To ease discomfort, rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and take pain medication if needed. If swallowing is difficult, eat soft foods and avoid rough or spicy items. Consult an ENT doctor if symptoms worsen.

Male | 20

The ear canal can be clogged and uncomfortable when wax builds up and gets removed, which can sometimes result in swelling and sulking. This may make you think your ear is blocked and may cause you pain when burping or swallowing. To help unclog your ear, try using warm olive oil drops to soften any remaining wax. You can also try gently irrigating your ear with warm water to help clear out any residue. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to seek further advice from your ENT specialist.

My left ear has been crackling for a few months now and i got told by a nurse it was blocked and i got my ear syringed two days ago and i was hoping that would stop my ear crackling but it's still crackling after two days since i got my ear syringed is that normal?

Male | 37

Though it's a good thing you got your ear syringed, the ear still crackles which is totally normal. Occasionally, the sensation will last a little while after the procedure. Ear crackling could be the result of the presence of fluid in the middle ear or what is called Eustachian tube dysfunction. Sometimes, you can make yawning or chewing gum movements to relieve the discomfort. If it doesn't get better, see your ENT doctor for more advice.

Male | 16

The puffed neck can take place for several reasons. Considering it is there for 3 days, notice will be required. Some common ones are, for example, being infected (like swollen glands) or even reacting to something. Besides, it may be about a thyroid issue. See a healthcare professional as fast as possible, so they can find the exact reason why you are ill and prescribe the proper medicine.

Female | 15

If you have yellow mucus for more than 7 days and it doesn't get better with medication, it's likely a sinus infection. You might feel lousy, with headaches or facial pressure too. To help clear it up, try using a humidifier, drink plenty of water, and use a saline nasal spray. But if it persists or worsens, see an ENT specialist.

This could happen because of a sore throat or infection. Other possibilities are acid reflux or swallowing something sharp accidentally. If it continues for several days, getting it checked is wise. Warm drinks or soft foods might provide relief. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is crucial too. Take a break from spicy or rough textures until it passes.

You need immediate medical attention by an ENT. Your ear examination and audiological assessment is of extreme importance for prompt treatment.

You likely scratched your throat, leading to discomfort. The object may have scratched or caused swelling in your throat area. Throat pain can sometimes radiate toward the ear region. Staying hydrated by consuming ample water aids in soothing the throat discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, seeking medical attention becomes advisable.

Tonsil stones are small items in your throat. They are made of food, mucus, and bacteria. You might have bad breath, a sore throat, or trouble swallowing. Gargle with warm salt water to remove them. Also, drink lots of water. Keep your mouth clean. This can stop tonsil stones from forming.

Female | 18

You seem to be struggling with anxiety symptoms. Quick breathing, a choking sensation, and intense worry or fear - these often occur with anxiety. Watching comedy provides a break, letting your mind relax and alleviating discomfort. To address these feelings, practice deep breaths or talk to a psychiatrist; such methods can help manage anxiety effectively.

Male | 24

You might have a clogged right ear. The feeling you’re having comes from earwax or a slight infection. It may occur due to putting objects in your ears or having a respiratory infection. You can try OTC ear drops to dissolve the wax. Refrain from inserting anything into your ear and avoid exposure to loud noises. If that doesn’t work, it’s advisable to consult with a ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Male | 33

It may be that you are having a case of the common cold. The symptoms you mentioned, like the sore throat, headache, swollen nose and eyes, and fever mostly at night, are typical ones of a cold. Colds are caused by viruses spread when the person close to you is coughing or sneezing. Get plenty of rest, drink fluids, and take over-the-counter medicines to help with the symptoms. If you are not feeling better in a few days, you can visit an ENT specialist.

Male | 30

The symptoms that you mentioned such as the pressure in your forehead, stiff neck, and confusion could be due to severe sinusitis and polyps on the left nostril. The presence of the discharge of yellow and white, as well as the nasal congestion, is a clear indication of a sinus problem. Medication such as sinus sprays, antibiotics, or surgery mainly to clear the polyps is used. You had better consult an ENT specialist who will provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the proper treatment for you.
