[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 654406, member: 17461"] I have been dealing with something similar since mid-January. First, I had to try every natural remedy I know. Then, I had to try to get in to see the doctor. Then, because I had to wait two weeks or go to Urgent Care, I tried every natural remedy I knew, again. When I finally got in to my doctor, I was given antibiotic ear drops and an oral antibiotic. The problem was compacted ear wax. Ew. After the drops had been used for five days, the ear was lavaged with hot water. I could hear, again. The dizziness went away. Then? Just recently? The other ear developed the same thing. I just went through the drops/lavage on Monday. Yesterday, it plugged, again. Probably just a little more wax in there, trapping fluid against the eardrum. Maybe, one more lavage session. Or maybe not. I am to use the drops, which should dissolve the wax. Maybe, it will shed on its own. That is what is supposed to happen, and why I am having one more problem with it, now, after lavage. But I am so much better. I have been very sick with this, all winter. Couldn't hear, couldn't balance as well, my face was swollen, too. How rotten this is happening to you, too. Cedar Okay, so one natural remedy that did seem to help. Daughter is big into natural healing, and I learned this from her. Cut an onion in half. Put it in the microwave until it is quite warm. Hot, but not hot enough to burn your skin. Wrap the onion in a clean, white washcloth and place the cloth-wrapped onion against the offending ear. The onion fumes, which are antibiotic, and the heat, will melt the wax and clear the impaction. My ear canals are tilted, apparently, and that is why lavage was required. The onion did actually give me some comfort. It may be that had I continued to use it every night, it would have helped me.
