What can i do to stop my ear itching?!


Question:

What can i do to stop my ear itching?

I think i have an ear infection, i have had them b4 and was given oral nti biotics, but it just keeps coming back. Anyway im going on monday, but for now what can i do cos its driving me up the wall, it doesnt really hurt, just itches and i can feel the pressure change all the time. Ive been itching it with roled up loo roll, which i know i probably shouldnt but it feels so nice lol!! Tho actually hurts a bit too when i scratch certain bits. Someone at work said to put littl bits of ice in my ear nd let the water drip down, i did this and it did stop it itching for a tiny bit but made me really dizzy? Anyone got any suggestions?


Answers:

Yup! Sounds like Otitus Externia. Or infection of the outer ear. It needs ear drops.

Sometimes fungal infections not too dissimilar to thrush erupt in the ear....get it checked out at the Doctors.

You actually shouldn't put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear! I do sympathize as I have this all the time too. It only takes a shower or swim and get water in your ear and off you go again! The dizziness is because it is now altering your balance due to the swelling, go get it sorted....

DONT put water or ice in your ear....it will make it worse
