I have clear liquid draining from my ears
Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (36)Comment receiving replies
I am seeing an ENT on the 4th. I have clear liquid running out of my ears. I have to keep some cotton or tissue in my ears because it runs down my neck. They get crusty at night as others have mentioned. I have sores on the ear itself. My ears itch something horrible. I have been to my dr many times. She gave me antibiotics, creams and steroids. Nothing has helped. She sent me to a dermatologist. The dermatologist is sending me to the ENT. I am going on two months of this. It's driving me crazy. I am adding a picture. Did anyone else have sores? The sores go up even higher now. This was taken when this started. Also the fluid was not as bad then as now.

Another question for you. How did you get the picture of your inner ear? I tried just so I could see what it looked like and as I don't have good hand/eye coordination it never worked. I"m hope you have someone with you to help,I guess.

Hi,
I know exactly what you are going thru!! I've heard about the nighttime drainage from a couple posts. I thought I was imagining it. I have some during the day, but mostly it's at night. I wonder why that is for all of us. My sores got very worse than yours because I would scratch my ears all night as they irritated me. Be careful with that as it evidently can spread the infection as I found out. My nails caused cuts in my outer/inner ear canal and the fluid then burned like acid or something. It really hurt!!! I now find out that I have 2 antibiotic resistant bacterial infections and have to start a 3rd round of different medicine. And I have to see an infectious disease dr. I feel like a leper or something,jeez! I have to admit that I'm addicted to using qtips and they say thats bad, but they aren't the ones with the itchy painful ears. I at first asked for some cream for the itchy sores but that they gave me a pain cream, this time they gave me a cream that healed the sores but the infection went deeper. I waited too long.
