Fluid And Pain In Left Ear, Numbness In Outer Part Of Ear. Diagnosed As Perforated Ear Drum. Suggestions?
I have fluid and pain in my left ear and the outer part of the ear feels numb. I also have tinnitus and fluid in the ear and hearing loss. I was prescribed pain medication and antibiotics and went to a doctor for a second opinion. The doctor flushed my ear but no earwax came out. The next day the pain increased and moved down to my jaw and I went to the ER. The doctor said I had a perforated ear drum and said I should go see an ENT. The ENT appointment is two weeks from now but the pain is moving over to my right ear, where fluid is now coming out of and down into my jaw.
