A lack of Luck

[Luisefe]

Hello,

Two days ago I went diving and I had a problem. At a certain moment, near the end of the diving session, I blow some water inside my ear. It came out slowly during the next two hours but I still have the feeling that something is wrong.
I have not other symtoms.

Thanks for your comments

Your luck starts now... if you don't get an ear infection you're lucky. Don't be surprised if you do, though - and if you do get an earache, considering you know you've blown water up in the middle ear, see the doc ASAP.

Rick's right ! If you are having a medical problem, no matter what it is, contact your doctor. Prompt proper treatment will get you feeling better faster and get you back in the water sooner.

Get it checked out .............Arduous

I am not sure how you "blew water in your ear" but the replies you recieved are quite right.

See your doctor.

Depending on how you came about your injury it could simply be disloged ceruman (wax) pressing against the tymapnic membrane (drum) which will be easily resolved by syringing, or you could have suffered a perforation of the tympanic membrane and if it does not heal by itself you may be in trouble.

Do not dive until you find out!

Hope this helps.

I once tried to equalize my ears while swimming upside down (nose pointing to surface). Gave a big blow in my ear. I assumed I blew some water into my ear by the eustachian tube.
