Could I have an inner ear infection in my right ear?!
Question: Could I have an inner ear infection in my right ear?
I have a lot of the symptoms, such as:
- I get ringing in my right ear a lot.
- My vision gets blurry and sometimes jumpy.
- Headaches often.
- Sensitivity to light.
- Temporary hearing loss.
- Joint pain in front of the ear.
- Pain in the ear.
- Forgetfulness (ONLY rarely though).
I've had this going on for about a month or two. It never really hurts, it just gets stuffy feeling and all that, so I never really thought it could be something as serious as this until I Googled the symptoms. Does it sound like an inner ear infection to you? And if yes, what can I do to get rid of it? If I go to the doctor, what would they do? Thanks!

Answers:
It sounds like an ear infection to me (I've had hundreds!). The doctor will basically look into your ear with an otoscope, very painless and routine.. You've probably had a doctor use an otoscope on you in the past already. If you have an ear infection, you'll likely just get some prescription medication to take for it.
