B.H.
I had this 2 years ago. Hate to tell you this - but I did the drugs - antibiotics, steriods, etc. Didn't work. Drove me CRAZY! It didn't hurt, but I felt like I couldn't hear out of that ear. I had a hearing test, and my hearing wasn't dimished - but still, so annoying!
Anyway, I ended up having the same type of procedure they do on kids when they put tubes in their ears. I had a q-tip with some numbing stuff put in there and then they cut a tiny slit in there, then the fluid was suctioned out. It felt strange, but I was like AHHHHHHH. No pain at all, insurance covered it, and if it ever happens again, I won't monkey around with the drugs but will go straight for the "procedure". I had it done by an ENT doc.
