Do I have an ear infection?
Discussion
So, a while back I had a problem with muffled hearing in my right ear, many different replies but eventually it just went back to normal. Today however the muffled hearing has come back, once again I can hear a ringing in that ear but not much else (as a side note I have tinnitus) but this time my ear also hurts. The lady at the pharmacy in the supermarket merely suggested taking loads of decongestant and painkillers, but I think it might be an ear infection because of the pain. What do you guys think?
I'll pop in tomorrow, found that I've stopped the pain with aspirin and decongestant (Morrisons pharmacy lady; thanks!) unless I give it a good poke, which I won't be doing deliberately. Still muffled though, like it was the previous time I lost my hearing in that ear. It went back to normal after a week though, so could be just one of those things again?

Thanks, very useful info. The muffled-ness (if thats a word) is going down slightly each day now, guess it'll just bow over like last time.Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
