Ear Getting Clogged Repeatedly. Had It Flushed Out. What Is The Cause And Remedy?

I have my ear clogged. I went to a clinic where the doctor flushed it out and got some stuff out that looks like cotton or paper. My ear felt better so I thought the problem was fixed. Like two to three days later it got very plugged again. I went to the hospital because it was scaring me. The doc flushed out my ear again and a big piece of white thick stuff came out again. I thought that had to be it, but again two days later it got plugged again. my ear is plugged as i'm typing, I flush it out myself and I keep getting white paper looking stuff out. I can't stand it any more its been over a month already! I'm going to an ENT on friday, I just wish I could get some relief till then.

Hello

Thanks for writing to h.c.m.

I have gone through your query regarding recurrent plugging of your ear and every time on syringing it white paper like material comes out and you feel better but just after 2 or 3 days you again develop the same problem.

Your story indicates that you are having OTOMYCOSIS . This is a fungal infection, iwould like to tell you that you should consult an E.N.T. specialist to get proper cleaning and treatment.

Regards.
