What Causes Fluid Accumulation In Ears Along With Severe Pain?

So my boyfriend has been having this problem with his ears for a while now, every few days his ears will hurt him to the point of misery , he says that they feel like they are full of fluid but it won t come out. The fluid will drain into the back of his throat and he will sit there for hours coughing and spitting out this stuff, he also says that it drains out of his ears and sometimes it will have blood in it. What can I do to help him?

Hi

Take him to a doctor (ENT specialist)!

He seems to be having an issue with difficulty in draining his Eustachian tube, or a condition called glue ear or possibly even an infection of his inner ear. Please take him to a doctor at the earliest as this can even affect his hearing in the future.

Best wishes
