Hi there.I have been getting grommets put in my ears for years. I m 31 and have Wegeners Granulomatosis causing chronic sinusitis . My grommet is still in but I have fluid build up. I m currently in Scotland but my ENT is in my hometown in Canada. Any suggestions for how to drain my ear without having to see a new ENT here?

Hi,

You are a known case of Wegener's Granulomatosis which can cause chronic sinusitis. You have been getting grommets put in your ear for many years and now you are suffering from accumulation of fluid there. For drainage of ear at home, you may use hydrogen peroxide ear drop.

First, lie down on your side and one ear should face up. Apply few drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ear and keep for 5 minutes. Sit up after 5 minutes and blot the outer ear with tissue to absorb fluids from ear. Repeat this process for your other ear. Repeat this process 2 times daily for a few days. Apply antibiotic ear drop with combination of a decongestant and an antihistamine ear drop into your affected ear 2-3 times daily.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
