I'm having problems with my ears. I'm 20 and have already seen a doctor but the meds are not working. It started when I took a trip to Ohio last year and got swimmers ear, I got an infection after that and ever since them my ears have been messed up. The ear wax is very liquidy and stringy and is pale yellow. I know you're supposed to stay away from q-tips but if I don't use them then the wax clogs my ears and I can't hear. After I use the q-tips there is a liquid that comes out of my ear and most of the time there is a lot of it. This all happens almost everyday.
