Hi hughes--glad to help; a few Q's:

-How many days have you (or the pt.) had the earache for?

-Does ear feel plugged (or muffled hearing)?

-How SEVERE is the pain (use 1--10 scale, 10 is worst)?

-Have you swam recently?

Once you've answered these questions with clear, well-thought out answers, I will reply with my Expert Medical Opinion. Your answers will enable me to get closer to an accurate diagnosis, which is critical to obtaining successful treatment or cure.

Thanks, --Dr. Steve, Your Online Family Doctor
