Ear Discharge.

ew ?










I'm not sure if you guys know.












My right ear has been badly blocked for more than 6 months!!











Last thursday, i was @ SGH - A&E department to see the doctor. I was kinda sick and wish to get an MC there :). After many hours of waiting, ( it seems that hospitals are really understaffed everytime i visit ) I've finally in the golden moments of receiving my required attention. The doc speak in a pretty funny tone.





Doc : What happen?



Me: err. I've got headache, flu, fever. Horrible.



Doc: great. sit down here awhile



doc sprints off to other rooms. (The rooms were interconnected)



So he was basically bunny-hopping room to room. From what i see, the doctor is tending like 3 different patients at the same time! -__-. I heard all the doctors available there are sent to treat the really emergency cases. Like you know those going-to-die kind. I was feelin really guilty going to A & E that time.





Well Tay asked me to =P. He said that he heard only A&E gives free medical treatments to NSFs like me.







ok i shall cut it short. I asked the doc to check my abnormally blocked ear too. That ear has really been a nuisance to me throughout this period.







After puting a torch+magnifying-glass+hammer-looking device into my ear, he concluded swiftly ..











your have too much ear wax, my dear. I'm not going to dig it for you.














*faints*








ahh. that's it.












The next day, i armed myself with cotton-wool sticks and began my mining adventure.

I used alot of cotton-wool sticks. Erm really alot.

Actually it improved. I was amaze. I did tried to clear in the past. But my effort seems furtile. That day, i used soaked my ear with water before i mine. It was pretty effective. :)

This morning, i went to dig again. Just to be sure everything was cleared.

I saw blood on the cotton wool.

Its really scary. I thought i am going deaf. At that point, my ear again was blocked. cant hear well.

I went online to search....

Ear Discharge OR DRAINAGE

Symptom Definition
Drainage of substances with varied colors and consistency from the ear canal.

Causes
Normal discharge: earwax or water. Earwax is light brown, dark brown, or orange brown in color.
Main cause of abnormal discharge: an ear infection with drainage of cloudy fluid or pus through a ruptured eardrum or through a ventilation tube.

O_O!!

*scrolls down*



Blood After Ear Exam:
If your doctor had to remove ear wax in order to see the eardrum, about 10% of the time this causes a small scratch to the lining of the ear canal. Usually the scratch oozes 1 or 2 drops of blood and then clots. This should heal up completely in a few days. It shouldn't affect the hearing. Don't put anything in the ear canal because it will probably re-start the bleeding.




*whew*




I scatched too hard? hmph.





I found interesting info too.


Earwax:
Ear wax protects the lining of the ear canal and has germ-killing properties. If the earwax is removed, the ear canals become itchy.









wa. I thot ear-wax is evil. It must be totally anniliated and destroyed. Looks like it has useful properties too.
