Suggest Treatment For Fluid Discharge From The Ear

After swimming & having water literally shoved up my nose (I am a avid swimmer) at a waterpark -I have had fluid leaking in my right ear for a month and a half. I have been to 2 Drs. and have taken 2 rounds of steroids, antibiotics, pain meds & cortisone drops in ear & no change. I hve tried Mucinex ,Sudafed hair dryer & nothing helps to dry it out. I hear my heartbeat throbbing in my ear. I have crusty fluid come out esp. in the morning. Should I wait it out a bit longer or what would you recommend next?

Thanks for your query......have you ever been to an ent doctor....I suggest you to visit an ent specialist as their might be a perforation in your drum.....if that is tere then my first advise to you would be to stop swimming and to have a proper treatment which will make your ear dry and then it can be repaired... I hope this gives you the answer...
