Why can't I sleep with left ear pain?
It looks like your left ear is infected. Ear pain and trouble sleeping might be the result of the infection you have. The drainage of the liquid in your sleep is an indication of the infection getting discharged. The ear is the most common site of infections and sometimes the yeast infectious ways matched can be compatible with some types of bacteria. Ensure that the ear is clean and dry. The right treatment should be gotten only through seeking specialized medical attention from an ENT specialist.

Possible Causes of Itchy Ear After Earwax Removal
The ear getting treated for wax buildup is fantastic news! However, itchiness in the ear canal post-procedure may occur. This results from skin irritation caused by disturbance during cleaning. Don't insert objects or scratch inside your ear. This discomfort should subside naturally. But if symptoms worsen, consult your ENT specialist immediately.

When Will My Inner Ear Inflammation Symptoms Improve?
These symptoms can take time to improve as the inner ear is a delicate structure. It's great that your MRI and hearing tests are normal, ruling out any major concerns. The medications you're taking are aimed at reducing inflammation and managing symptoms. Sometimes, it just takes a bit longer for the body to fully recover. Keep up with your prescribed medications, exercises, hydration, and walks. Your dedication is commendable. I recommend staying in touch with your ENT specialist for regular check-ups and adjustments to your treatment plan.

Is lingering ear discomfort post-cleaning normal?
After having your ear cleaned out, it's quite common to feel some discomfort or sensation of fullness, especially if there was a lot of wax buildup. The echoing feeling and sensation of something being there can happen due to the manipulation during the cleaning. It's positive that you've noticed improvement since the procedure. Sometimes, residual symptoms like tightness or a slight feeling of blockage can linger for a bit. I'd recommend giving it a bit more time, maybe another week or so, to see if these sensations continue to improve. If things persist or worsen, then it would be a good idea to revisit your ENT specialist for a follow-up, just to make sure everything is progressing as it should.

Why do I have ear infection pain and swelling?
You may be suffering from an ear infection. The infection itself is responsible for the pain and swelling in your face. Ear infections develop as a result of the bacteria or virus that infects your ear. On one hand, they may disappear on their own without treatment; on the other hand, if the problem is serious, you should take medicine prescribed by an ENT specialist. Applying a warm cloth to your ear is a good way to soothe the pain for now.

Could water in my ear for a year be harmful?
What you're experiencing could be due to a condition called otitis externa, commonly known as swimmer's ear. This happens when water gets trapped in the ear canal, leading to irritation and sometimes infection. To help you out, I'd recommend avoiding putting any objects in your ear and trying to tilt your head to allow the water to drain out naturally. It's also a good idea to see an ENT specialist who can assess your ear and recommend appropriate treatment, such as ear drops or antibiotics if needed.
