I have clear liquid draining from my ears

Posted by Gregory Tremblay @gregorytremblay, Jan 24, 2016

I have clear liquid draining from my ears, mostly from the right, and the canals show damaged skin. I've seen 2 specialists and neither thinks it's a problem. They are surely incompetant, as the 1st I saw caused an infection in my left ear. The fluid feels like automotive break fluid. Do you have an opinion? Thanks. Greg T.

Oh i have had ear issues from childhood. My E tubes don't expel the fluid that collects behind the ear drum so after awhile it gets stagnant and infected. When i was 22 i had to go to a ENT and he drained the ear and put in a tube and i have had to do that many times since then. It is called a Myringotomy. First the numb the ear drum and then make a tiny incision and drain the fluid and put a tube in it to keep it drained. It falls out after 6 mos. Happy Easter..
