So recently, took it upon myself to take two benadryl tablets before bed. Well that seems to help. My ears stop itching and draining while sleeping. Could I have an allergy causing this?

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.

Other than sores, my symptoms were identical to yours... itching, draining, pain.

Nov 17, 2023 · I have a question. I've had fluid behind my ear drum for 2 weeks and been using prescription drops and it cleared up the fluid but there was still drainage in my ear canal, so my ENT sprayed a Sulpha powder in my right ear as it had an antibiotic in it to dry out the drainage.

Feb 8, 2019 · I had a cholesteatoma removed in 2005 in my left ear due to ear infections and perforations.The Dr claims the air conduction hearing loss in that ear is not the result of the surgery.

The ENT said that my mastoid bone looked very inflamed on the CT scan, but the otoligist says it looked fine and gave me an eye drop to use in my ear.

A neurosurgeon figured this out by squirting steroids through my eardrum directly into my inner ear which fixed my hearing 100% for a few days. He also did an MRI of my head with ear contrasts to rule out a tumor.
