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?



It may be blocked sinuses - try steam - breathing in from a bowl of hot
water with a towel over your head. Perhaps add spearmint or peppermint.

I've found codeine & paracetamol helped with blocked sinuses. The
codeine dries you up a bit which allows the pressure to b relieved (a
bit). But don't overdo it and stop them as soon as you can.
