Every time I open my mouth, my right jaw hurts. But the longer I keep it open, the less it hurts the next time. Know why? Because I can feel fluid or pus (or whatever the hell it is) going from my jaw back up into where my ear is. So of course when I open it the next time, there isn't as much fluid in my jaw, allowing it to open normally again.

If this shit drains into my throat or chest, life is truly going to suck ass.

This medication better work!
 
Get a paper towel (Bounty) tear off a piece and roll it into the biggest ball possible that can fit in your ear. Put it into your ear and make sure that you can't get it out. It will hurt for a while, but try toi ignore it and go to sleep. Then go to the doctor tommorow and say that something got stuck in your ear. The Bounty will soak up alot of the builtup fluid, and after it is removed, the doctor will be able to see the problem in your ear alot easier.

What?? My ear is sore as hell. I'm not going to stretch it, that just causes the ear to make more pus which makes the infection worse. I have swimmer's ear. How I got it, I'm not sure... because I wasn't swimming :D

You should go to the doctor too unless you want your toe amputated.
 
Yeah, no music. Kind of sucks.

The fact that I'm taking medicine means I saw a doctor Jonny, but thanks for the concern. :)

whew im glad man.. i mean.. i would have been up all night worried about you refeshing your thread every second to make sure you made it through.
 
i literally dont have the money to pay for a doctor visit. i'll go only if it becomes really serious. i cut away some of the nail before i hope that fixes it.

Sactown, were you not the one who came onto GA asking if the piece of paper towel you got stuck deep in your ear canal was dangerous?

Heed this post at your peril ;)

And Joe, I had that same problem....it sucks. I cut off some of the nail and it grew back fine. Took a little while, but no doctor required.

i think the ear and sinus are somehow linked or something so infections in one usually spread to the other. at least that's what i hear.

edit: well i guess if it's an ear infection then you should watch out for it spreading to your sinuses, and vice versa.
 
Holy shit. Diablos, dude...make sure you read this all the way through; my mother recently lost full hearing in her left ear because of an ear infection. She is completely deaf in her left ear because she was mis-diagnosed and given the wrong medication at the hospital. She had just a bad infection that she was imobilized for nearly 2 weeks. She was incredibly weak, she could barely walk; she was bed-ridden for the whole 2 weeks. It started with the same 'jaw' feeling that you have. Three days after that jaw feeling, she came down with a fever of 102 and it only kept on going up. And this happened recently too; this past April.

Doctor or hospital. Right. Fucking. Now.

In-grown toe nails should be taken seriously, son!

When you go to the doctor, they're going to freeze your foot, ram a needle full of novacaine into it, and pick at your nail. There will be a lot of blood, my friend just told me about his 2 nights ago at dinner. It was disgusting.

I had a similar ear infection like that. I was born with a hole in my eardrum, so I had like 3 surgeries since I was 6 yrs old. I had a couple of infection because the anti-biotics wasn't strong enough. My first infection came about a couple of week after I had my second surgeries. The back of my left ear was just bloated and I get dizzy often. When my parents took me to get it check, the doctor had to cut about centimeter on the back of my ear WITH NO ANESTETIC, stings like crazy at first, but that wasn't the worse of it, he had to SQUEEZE out the puss out the back of my ear..... it was quite bloody too. My second infection came about a month after my 3rd ear surgery. I already healed, but the left side of my face pretty much swelled, it got to the point where it is just noticeable, I could barely open my jaw and thought it was just a jaw problem. I don't want to talk what happen at the doctor, it just too painful to remember, but let's say he cut me again..... in my mouth...... with NO FUCKING ANESTETIC AGAIN.

Another infection I had was a gum infection. The top gum of my mouth are white(the part that are near my top teeth). The dentist gave me plenty of novacaine and proceed TO CUT OFF ALL THE WHITE PART. Needless to say, my top teeth temporarily grew a couple of millimeters the first few weeks(that's how long it took for the gum to start growing back and heal), it was a pretty bloody first week, I literally tasted blood everyday. I spitted out blood often at school which my friends though was cool, I would have thought the same if it weren't for the pain.

tenchir: You are brave... my problem pales in comparison.

Thanks for the concern Alpha, sorry to hear about your mom. My fever went from 101 to 97... sometimes it goes back up to 99 but that's not too often. I'm seeing the doctor again in another week. While the drops are clogging my ear, they are also helping. So are the anitbacterial pills I'm taking. My ear continues to become clogged but it is not pumping up pus every 10 minutes like it used to. Every time I tried to pop my ear before, it would like create more of that shit, you could hear it. And feel it. Nasssty. That has calmed down a lot. But it's still obviously happening enough to keep my ear clogged. My jaw isn't as bad today but it's still a little sore.
 
Oh hell no I wasn't brave, if I wasn't so short and weak at time, or that I knew what was coming, I would have run for it. Because of those infections and surgeries, I am terribly afraid to go to the doctors. My last doctor appointments was like...... 5 years ago.
