I have a feeling of drainage in my ear and a lot of times it is a tickling sensation in the ear also. But my doctor says that they cannot see anything in my ear that would cause this. I use a Q-tip to try to see if anything will come out that could be causing this. (I know that you should not use Q-tips) Sometimes there is nothing on the Q-tip and other times there is a kind of brownish semi-liquid looking stuff on the Q-tip. What could be causing the tickling sensation and the brownish drainage stuff? This is irritating.
