Hi all,

After a recent viral infection I find that after the little nasty had
attacked my tonsils, chest and given me a slight fever, it left me with
fluid (pus I would guess) in my middle ear which is proving remarkably
reluctant to drain away. The effect is like when you get out of a
swimming pool and find you have water lodged in one ear. The difference
is, you can't clear this in the same way as it's behind the ear drum. I
first noticed this 8 days ago. Any suggestions as to how to get rid?


Jeye's Fluid or see your Doctor - take your pick.
I would not use WD40.



Angle grinder?

I was going to suggest an angle grinder but in this case I think a
simple trepanning with an electric drill ought to be sufficient.
