Hello, I had the flu recently and tried to clear out my ears so I could hear better, this made it worse, filling my ears with mucus. They are still full of liquid and one of my ears had a lot of reddish/dark brown earwax, should I just wait for them to clear out or go see a doctor?
yes , you should go to a doctor as it is likely that your ear drum has been perforated and you will need antibiotics for it , the doctor ca also help you remove the wax from the other ear. please meet him soon and keep the ear dry so that the infection does not worsen,
Take care
