Swimmer's Ear
 

I have swimmer's ear... it hurts really bad, and I can't fall asleep because it hurts when I lay down. There's this yellow drainage that comes out of my ear and it smells bad. :( The doctor gave me medicine, but I read up on it and it says I need to get the drainage cleared out and then put in ear drops. I wonder if the drainage is the water. o_O

drainage is probably a mixture of water and earwax, good for waxing cars, it makes your car shiny enough to deflect the police radar...

Only if you wax it everyday though. The only if it's an Iroc Camaro. That sucks, NGM. I've never had swimmers ear but I've had a few friends that have, and they say it sucks quite the elephant dick. Try using a hanger to clear that out, if it's good enough to abort fetuses, it's good enough to clear drainage out of your ear. ;)

I wouldn't have it stick it up my ear, right?

It's infection. Nastiness.

Yeah, normally with Swimmer's Ear, there is no puss dripping out. No es bueno..

omg hes gonna die !~ =(

Lol.. I've had it before. It cures after a while. As of right now, all the drainage basically dried up I think because I don't feel it coming down anymore, and there are little flakes at the outside of my ear canal.

'Clear or yellow-green fluids draining from your ear'

My ear was feeling funny two days ago, and I actually went into the pool to go swimming. I'm a dumbass... wish I would've read these sites before then.

I just looked inside my ear with two mirrors, and I saw a buildup of that yellow stuff, except now it is dry. Hm..

Wax buildups suck, and they look rather nasty. Get it pulled out.

I'm going to wait until tomorrow when I go to the doctor. I've heard that if you put a foreign object up your ear, and it touches the soft tissue in the canal, it can just cause more bacteria to get into it.

Ear wax freak!!! OMG, some non gay man just h4xx0rd Zelaron!

Oh, and what you say is true, so definitely wait the day or so, then get it properly done.

What is Swimmer's Ear? Is that when you get too much water in your ear and it makes the funky sound when u walk or bend over to touch your toes or something..

I think that's just called water-in-your-ear-that-makes-noises. :D I hate that, but I've never had swimmer's ear. I'm pretty sure my mom could whip up some home remedies if I ever had it though.

This explains what it is.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Wtf? Sending a GC thread off topic?

BAN.

Ive had possibly the worst case of swimmers ear.

I missed 2 weeks of school. Half of my spring vacation was wasted.

I went to school one day... It hurt so bad, and it was in both ears, there was green and yellow stuff coming out of both ears... I went to the nurse, she said to wait 2 hrs before i go home.

My mom came to pick me up... I had to take these HELLA strong anti biatics(sp) and some other shit. Hope yours isnt as bad as mine :( It hurt so bad at night..

Oh yeah, well that's nothing! I had yellow and green shit coming out of all three of me ears!

Wait...
