definitely hard on the heart Hoobity :))

Of course it may well be too much |Lenoard...which is too hard on the ears and the heart....lol

Rosie...your eye, nose and ear are all linked to the back of your throat,
If you have a prob with either of them it can effect the other.
So if your eye is infected..it will produce more tears and will bung up your nose...so you think your nose is the prob as you keep on sniffing.
Same with the ears.
You may have cattarh (sp)...which can cause probs with the eyes nose and ears.
Get thee to a quack...and hopefuly you will find a cure.

there must be a gap somewhere.**M**.:o)>

BOB ! LOLOL

Not being a medical man but having been around for a while, in my experience it likely means that,
as you can still feel pain...........

cue music...

the ear bones' connected to the head bone, the head bones' connected to the neck bone, the neck bones' connected to the shoulder bone..........etc......

lol TW, I have had hay fever for months , so the itchy back of the throat is the norm in June/ july for me

but I don't think there is a 'walk in centre' here...though I will check it out. it isn't bad enough to stop me doing housework etc so I can't be too bad lol

Rose, you were advised yesterday to get to the doctors....you should have made a point of registering then. *tsk*

Seriously, have you had a cold recently, or hayfever, sore throat. The ears nose and throat are all connected, so it may be that it's coming from the throat rather then directly in the ears. Maybe some decongestant will help relieve it until you get to a doctor.

I would suggest you find your walk-in centre TODAY!

in fact NOW! Go on....what are you waiting for?

Thanks Whirley :) , since I moved I haven't yet registered (bad girl!) but I will on Monday and if no better by then make an appointment. Touchwood it isn't any worse today anyway, I did wonder if it might be the precursor to swine flu which is hitting Telford hard at the moment but think it would have shown with other symptoms by now

Rose I had an ear problem a few weeks back. It needed syringing which was a huge relief.....then I got probs in the other ear and altho it didn't need syringing, I was prescribed antibiotic drops which worked a treat. I haven't read all this thread so if you haven't been to the Dr's, might be worth a check:)

Karen, you may be right! lol...I was sitting in seat to side and left of stage...so my left ear was closer to the music, pain in the right ear so..........

propper advice on its way,

1) use seperate flannels etc when washing to prevent cross contamination ( spreading infections from one ear to the other)
2) yes do sleep on the bad ear
3) take regular pain relief ( those containing ibuprofen will help reduce inflamation)
4) see a doctor if symptoms persist

i do sympathise as I suffered with this as a child>

I hate earache hope it eases soon Rose

It means double trouble RR, best to get it sorted me thinks

*visions of Jill pressing buttocks against next door's wall to hear*......

Oops!

Well, allegedly, I can talk through it so I suppose I ought to be able to hear through it too!!

Jil,
Earache that was a pain in the butt!!!

Interesting anatomy LOL!

RR. As it's the weekend, you won't see a gp, but call NHS24, who will advise you. They may advise you seek medical attention at your local hospital, or the out of hours service.

If you have to go out, remember to put cotton wool in your ears.

What a great lot of medicos we have here! Big help, aren't they?

It means you should have been on antibiotics before now. Get to a doctor!

Sorry Rose. I had earache once and it was a pain in the butt so I should be more sympathetic!

Hot water bottle? That might help.

Wrap up warm - try not to sleep on the worst ear and yes, go to the doctor!
