Ear Felt Heavy, Hurt For A While, Pressure From Fluid Inside. Is It Serious?
Hi I just came back from the beaches of Thailand. While I wad swimming there (back floating) a splash of wave entered my ear and went right inside. I felt heavy on my ear and it hurt for sometime. After awhile it was ok. While coming back on the flight because of the cabin pressure fluid started comin from my ears. My ears dont pain, however the fluid is comin out fr the past 3 days. Is it serious?

there might have been infection in the ear in water
it must not have subsided and when we are in air the eustachian tubes block and there is pressure inside ear
due to this pressure drum ruptures and the fluid leaks out
start with metrogyl 200 m bd
tab allegra 120 mg od
tab diclofenic sos for pain
neosporin h ear drops in ear bd
can take for 7-10 days
but consult the specialist who can judge the position of drum after physical examination
