Hey… tried to leave a message last night but my (free therefore stolen) internet decided to cut out just as I finished typing my message. I hope you feel better soon! (Though that’s not what the last message said!)

I suffered from many ear infections as a child and even into adulthood, though I haven’t had one in years, thankfully. I really don’t know what causes them, but mine were so bad that I had to see an ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist for years. It can also be related to your sinuses–all that stuff is connected somehow, I guess that’s why they call those doctors ENTs. Best to get it taken care of ASAP. They’ll either give you anti-biotics or ear drops. Maybe both. Good luck!

I will let Melissa know! haha

What’s FTL?

Tell your wife to stop licking your ears, nai! LOL! J/K! Hahahaha! (Sorry, Mel! Just had to say it!)

Hope you get better soon!

Ear inections are defintely FTL. Thank goodness it’s been years since I had a major one.

Tossing a couple cents on top of Abdul’s comment, excess water left in your ear canal (showering, bathing, what have you) can combine with some nasty stuff that just happens to be in there already. It got so bad with me when I was young that I would spend a touch of time using a blowdryer to lightly dry out my ear after showering…

Anywho, best of luck at the doctor. Probably will give you an eardrop or two.

Ear infections are the worst!
I’ve had a few in my life. The pain is horrible.
I hope you feel better soon.

Wow, this is weird. I’m just kind of recovering from a bad ear infection right now.

A word of advice, don’t let any water in the ear or rub it from the outside in any way. No poking either. Most likely causes I learnt was the overflow of wax that’s hardening or excess water going inside the ear.

Best of luck at the docs though mate.
