I have had this blocked ear plus awful stinging pain that wakes me up very early in a morn since Jan! Cannot lie on affected ear.Finally given antibiotics in July. this took the pain off for 10 days then it came back. been told the eardrum has fluid behind it. I can hear the gurgling sound when I yawn! They only gave me otomize ear spray at the beginning-this made my hearing go muffled. then I was given nasonex spray for nose. This made me even deafer. Finally been to consultant after had very bad dizziness and tingling down face too,he says its ok to leave! So cannot have more antibiotics even tho they helped! Now today it has begun in my other ear. Cannot lie on either side now! It is not as bad during the day tho still get dizzy spells but the tiredness of only getting about 5 hours sleep is not good. Its as tho pressure builds up after laying down. Using more pillows too-this has helped the dizziness when waking at the mo. The only thing he said was it may be a nerve pain related to my hip problem! However that would not cause my ear drum to be red and the fluid!
