I have been browsing this forum and hijacking other people's threads asking questions about treatment and such, unintentionally actually, but it was taking away from the people who posted. So, I am creating this one, which will appear as so many others I am sure. But, if you have never had the ear problem happen to you, it is new, as it was to me.
I followed the suggestions of Dandydon, DocV, and TSandM :thumbs_up:and sought medical help last night. I just could not stand the pain any longer. I still have an eardrum this morning only because I went to the emergency room last night. It ended up being an internal ear infection and the only way to get relief is prescription anti-biotics. Had I waited any longer (the heal thyself syndrom), I probably would have not been able to dive for quite some time.
In reading the other threads, I didn't see the authors close out the thread with such as: "I saw the MD and he prescribed this." I just wanted all to know the outcome of my situation. I am a bit groggy this morning still, no sleep and Lortabs, but the healing has begun. I can already tell a difference in my ear and it has been less than 24 hours. Thanks for sound and solid advice from all the foks on this forum.
