ear ache....

[BeckyJ]

i no this sounds silly but ive never had ear ache before and since ive been pregnant ive had it really badly at times

sometimes its so bad that i cant even lie that side of my head on the pillow, i only get it in the one ear

is it just coincidence that im pregnant? do you think i should go to the docs?
i always feel that im wasting thier time when i go

Hey, don't feel like you're wasting their time, that's what they are there for! If you do have an ear infection then it probably won't clear up unless you get some drops or something. Might as well go see the doc

I've not heard of it being part of pregnancy but who knows! xxxx
Hope you feel better soon hun xxxx

I used to get earache all the time when I was younger.

My mum used to put warm almond oil in then some cotton wool and that helped so maybe try that. Just a few drops

Failing that go to the doctors cos earache sucks. I get a sore ear if I like on my side for too long (usually the left ear) and I have earache just now from being in the pool then going out into the cold

soz Becky just saw this
ive been in off topics

defenetly go to the docs
the last ime i had an ear infection i left it so long my balance went and i could hardly move.
so dont ignore it, get down to the docs
dont feel you wasting there time (ive you heard how much they get paid)
its what they out there for.
And if it is an infection like Suzie said it will not clear up on its own.

Hope you ear ache i better soon will text to make certian you have got your sELf ofF to the docs tommorow

Hi,

Sounds like it could be an infection, I had a bout of them a few years back and there's very little I've had worse! I'd definitely go to the doc, and don't worry about wasting their time (they're always inclined to make one feel like that!!!)

hope you've had an ok night with your ear, i used to get aches all the time when I was younger and it was always worse at night.

Almond oil, hmm, i think my mum used to put something similar in my ear. Could have just been sunflower oil or something warmed up... can't quite remember.

Resting your head on a warm hot water bottle can be comforting too xxx

Hi,

Really glad you're feeling better - ear ache is one of the most horrible things to have to put up with.
