Ear issues... maybe a burst ear drum?!
Question:
Ear issues... maybe a burst ear drum?
Last night, I was blowing my nose... and, all of a sudden, my ears popped and I started having pain in my ears. A while later, I tilted my head to the side and some pus-like liquid came out of one. It has been over 24 hours and I am still experiencing constant pain that is equal to (if not worse) than what it was right after the incident. My ears feel a bit stopped up and I'm not hearing as well as I usually do.
What does this condition sound like to you? A popped eardrum?
How serious is this?
How soon do I need to see a doctor if it doesn't get better soon?
Answers:
Sound to me like it might be an inner ear infection. You should see a doctor as soon as possible.
