Ear infection - dodgy mucus...
37 Answers
Yesterday my symptoms came on all of a sudden - nausea and fainting mainly, followed by a dry cough- and went straight to the doctor to find out that I have an ear infection. As the day went on, I got really feverish and just felt really blocked up and had a sore head, and aches and pains in my body.
But this morning when I woke up I coughed up a green mucus that had specs of blood in it. That's when I called NHS direct as I was quite worried, they didn't really say anything about the blood. To be honest he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, I don't even know if he acknowledged it, and certainly didn't say anything to assure me that it was normal. He just said that it must have spread to my chest and I should keep taking antibiotics. So I'm still a bit worried - what could be causing the blood? Is it normal with an ear/chest infection?

Labyrinthitis is diagnosed by an accurate history from the patient ( which may take a lot of time and patience on the part of the Dr) vestibulo-function tests ( Google it...tests of balance) and auditory tests, blood tests and MRI scans.
Your diagnosis was clearly made by assumption, excluding other conditions.

daffy, you poor soul. I hope you dont think it was ghoulish of me but I looked up bullectomy. I knew bulla meant bubble, but now know that the bullae that get ectomied are 'giant bullale' up to several cm in diameter.
BTW I got a reminder that Wiktionary can be rubbish, as here. Bullectomy is supposed to have been deleted, but is still all wrong, and redirects to bulla, which is all right.
