I have a problem with my right ear. Right now at this moment it is swelled, behind my lobe there is a knot. It feels like I have a lot of fluid in my ear that will not come out. Sometimes it comes out but there is always more fluid down there. I can never get it all out. What fluid I can get out on a cuetip is yellowish and it smells like an infection. It hurts to open my mouth, I can't sleep, and even the side of my face is sore. I am 22 years old and have never had any trouble with my ears. I have gone to a Ear, Nose & Throat Dr. about this and he said that I do not produce ear wax and that is why my ears itch so much. Basicly that he could not do anything for me. I went to get a second opinion and he told me the same thing. TMJ has been thrown up to me, the right side of my jaw does pop. Why all of the sudden trouble now and what in the world is wrong??? I can't live like this. Just like ear problems make babies fussy it can take a toll on adults too!
