sore ear

[mollykins]

A couple of days ago, my ear was tender to touch, but only hurt when you touched it, now it's ok to touch but it's sore all of the time and several times a day suddenly flares up really badly for a few seconds.

What's the best thing to do?

Also it really hurts to blow my nose or sneeze.

Perhaps you have an ear infection - I would go to the doctor. If it is, you may need antibiotics to clear it up.

[mollykins]

Ok, plus mum and dad have both had a look and there's nothing in there.

[anneasquith]

really !

[mollykins]

Nothing like wax or a lump or something, which I supose suggest an infection rather than a bite etc.

Can they see right through to the other side molly when they look in your Ear, if so you have problems !!

[boxtops]

Not being funny bu tI doubt that your parents have access to an auriscope - to look right inside your ear - that's where they need to look. You might have an inner ear infection which they wouldn't be able to see anywhere. GP please.

[boxtops]

^ anyway, not anywhere

Oh my God! That really does say it all.

[mollykins]

Okies.

Sounds to me like you may have a case of marburg or lassa fever. If your not sure wiki them for more info

[mollykins]

will do bob, while the internets still working properly.

[anneasquith]

every good home should have an auriscope,in the medicine cabinet lol

[boxtops]

gee bobs (hallo btw, long time no see)

[askyourgran]

Take no notice of bob molly, go to your GP you may have an ear infection.

[bobjugs12]

Hey boxy. How's you?

Gran, you ruin all my fun lol

[askyourgran]

Hi bob hope you still enjoy your job.

Which bit of your ear is sore? If inner you shouldn't be touching it!

[mollykins]

Just inside the pointy bit that was sore. I'm not sure what the name of the pointy bit is, it might be tragus or something, or is that the kind of piercing you have there?

// The pointy bit // - so you're Vulcan, then?
