I got tinnitus that has no real cure so just dealing with it daily 🙁

thanks.. I tried it all.. just gave up.. still enjoying life :)... but getting used to that sound in my ear

Zap! Hope it helps.

Get better soon, Jack! Take periodic rest and heal! 🐶🐾🫂💕

Quit using airpods!

I don’t

Sorry, man. Solid be able to get amoxicillin over the counter from a local pharmacy down there.

Or natural remedies. They have a lot of good ones down there.

Are they known to cause ear injections?

I got a bad one and ear pain due to them. And yes mine were clean. They produce some air pressure and that caused me pain and eventually an infection.

🫂

Hope you feel better soon Jack 🫂

nice timing, body

Haaa

i remember from when i was young. it sucks and it can hurt like hell. get well soon 🙏

Doesn’t sound pleasant 🫂

I hope you feel better soon, and that #nostrica makes you feel a little better 💜

Be well Jack!

Definitely feel you. I've had my fair share of ear infections and they're no fun. Hope it clears up for you soon.

Diver? Get better soon!

Jack I’m sorry about the ear, I’m an idiot I can’t figure out how to setup bloody how to receive sats😭 hoooowwwww jack how

Peanut oil drops. Used them in India. Worked like a charm.

Hope you feel better soon! 🫂

Sorry to hear. ☹️

Haaa they call me left ear now

Awe 💕 you’re so cute @jack

🫂

#[0]​ we need a family physician STAT!

#[1]

Garlic oil drops in the ear, neti pot or saline rinse for the sinuses

Antibiotics. Ear infection is too close to the brain. Had a bad experience with this. 🙏🏽

Damn sorry man

I recently found out my recurring ear ache is likely caused (in part) by my deviated septum—which is due to a cricket ball smashing my big nose 20 years ago 🤙

#[0]

🫂

If not burst, a little garlic oil …

Hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol should clear it up in no time! 👍🏼👍🏼

Been doing that every day. Day 4 now.

Think I got something from the red tide after the heavy rains that stuck

Olive oil... It has been used for thousands of years for removing wax and treating infection

Seeing a doctor is a good idea.. 🎶

The healthcare system is ranked #36 in the world..

Yikes! Good luck getting through it

Eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball in your ear at least eases some pain. Doesn’t necessarily treat it / heal it, but keeps it bearable.

…Says the random internet man

Eucalyptus helps

Oh goodness! No

Guaifenesin 600-1200mg every 12 hours with lots of water. Helps thin things out.

sorry jack 🫂

I’m an ENT. You need some ofloxacin drops! 4-5 drops twice daily (assuming it’s swimmers ear which is a lot more likely than a middle ear infection in climates like Uvita)

Think it might be middle ear given how strong the headaches are alas

Stand on your head, recite the Bitcoin whitepaper 21 times, and then do this:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NIYfApRGf1Q

When I had a really bad ear infection in 2021 I got prescribed amoxicillin and it helped almost immediately.

I didn’t know adults got ear infections.

Lol … i was gonna ask how do you say it’s the middle ear. You were probably busy planning the event, you’re probably a little sick, take decongestant over the counter. Also see if they have theraflu nighttime or something. If there’s fluid or pus or pain you’ll need antibiotics. Increase fluids regardless @jack

We all had an earache when a virus went through the house in January. Oragano oil capsules (piping rock) and colloidal silver nasal spray (mesosilver) does the trick. Amoxicillin didn't even touch it.

I think you need to work on the underlying cause that led to ear infection. If there’s headache on either side or on the sides of nose take the nasal

Decongestants along with theraflu tea ☕️ pr any symptomatic pain relief before bed. My recommendation is you start asap don’t

Wait till tomorrow to get antibiotics. But get the antibiotics too later the one ent suggested to end the infection if there is one. @jack

If the underlying cause is a virus then antibiotics probably won't help much because they're too broad spectrum and nasopharyngeal inflammation is the primary cause of inner ear pressure. Because the eustachian tubes are prone to bacterial infection over the two to three week viral cycle, a direct antibacterial and carbohydrate-free remedy is a more direct and effective approach. A limited and well metered application of colloidal silver reduces the bacterial population in the nasal passage. Orageno oil capsules dissolve in the stomach and leave an insoluble layer of oil in the gastric juice and provides an adequate disinfectant action on the bacterial laden nasal drip which periodically is regurgitated by coughing and otherwise would apply a continuous bacterial aggravation to the virally infected mucosal surfaces.

Thanks for the explanation it makes sense, just based on my training in medicine and experience working with patients and colleagues along with under supervision when needed, im providing my insight. There isn’t anything as too broad spectrum, Jack os getting an upper respiratory infection, ear infection whether he has it or not is part of the upper respiratory system, this means that augmentIn or amoxicillin will work because those are the recommended antibiotics for upper respiratory Infection. You can read more on upper respiratory system. However there’s circumstances when antibiotics aren’t an option. When antibiotics such as a child under 10 or someone with severe allergy to those drugs, herbal may benefit in such circumstances although I’ve never seen it, but it may happen

The ear anatomy explanation is great, thank you for that. But short and sweet and to the point correct answer is that nasal passages swelling or inflammation ( the other word for it) is mostly

Because of either cold, allergies, overworking Yourself, lack of sleep or all the above. To reduce swelling or inflammation in the nasal pharyngeal area you’d need nasal decongestants. He will most likely see immidate results with those including a reduced headache. But I still recommend going to get antibiotics if the pain is as bad as he is describing @jack

I avoid medications, including NSAIDS, as much as possible but am not averse when they are the last resort.

You have to take nsaids in large quantities every single day for a long time for it to damage the organs. Jack’s age, height, healthy lifestyle shows it’s ok to take nsaids included in either of the over the counter medicines once in a while like when needed to. You have to take over 3000 mg of nsaids In less than 24 hours everyday for it have damaging effects. Jacks over the counter medicine will probably

have a tiny Amount of nsaid maybe 500 mg. It’s ok.

I've found some herbal remedies to be very effective, like oragano oil, but not all. I wouldn't recommend something unless I've demonstrated to myself several times that it works with and not without. I agree thats not scientific, but the basis upon which I originally investigated the possibility is from what treatments were commonplace before modern pharmaceuticalls were available.

For the most part, all a doctor can do is prevent you from dying if bleeding or if lethally inflected. Everything else is done by the body and it's ability to protect and heal itself.

Yes so when @jack is all better with science based medicines and doctors save his ear and upper respiratory system, then I will allow it that you may take over and recommend something to improve his overall health maybe vitamins or something? What do you recommend?

Neither of us are in an position to take hold of his healthcare, and you must admit its more careless to prescribe medications without an exam by an experienced diagnostician than it is to recommend dietary adjustments that could have the benefit of relief.

None of the medicines I talked about are prescription based besides amoxicillin or augmentin, which where you are in the carribean aren’t prescribed. Whatever I said is over the counter recommendation, and yet it’s better than essential oils. Telling someone you care about to look up mechanism of action of drugs before taking them is teaching patients how to take care of themselves. It’s not careless since there wasn’t a prescription, I said everything you said in my insight and experience. You’re mad because I’m right lol you’ll learn one day or not idk 🤷‍♀️

This isn’t different than the 10 others telling Jack to take antibiotics for ear infection. Did they come to the carribean and examine jack?

I think if you pick a career like the essential oils and start getting upset at everyone with a lot of knowledge on medicines, nsaids and pt education then it’s not the career for you.

It’s your life, choose essential oils if you want to study those, but then don’t start having anger or animosity against people that explain science based medicine telling we should take healthcare or whatever else you said.

I have been referring to my own experience, and had in fact tried a full course of antibiotics for this particular virus in January and itnhad no effect. You can believe what you will about my emotions and motives and I won't judge you right or wrong in your recommendations. Your approaches certainly may have a positive effect in Jack's case, but given my preferences and experiences I offer an alternative that may be harmless and could even be used alongside an allopathic approach. Not everyone prefers to submit to the regulated medical profession every time they have an earache.

@jack please read mechanism

Of action (MOA) of nasal decongestants and antibiotics mentioned. Hope you feel better love 💕 let me know if there’s anything I can do for you 💋

No way, lol. Don’t do this lol @jack How do oil capsules help? Would you explain please?

Then you need amox or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid if not penicillin allergic or if you do have a penicillin allergy, doxycycline is best but if it’s really sunny that can cause sun sensitivity - I mean none of this is great medical advice bc I can’t examine you, wish I was there! See if they have a little clinic somewhere

😢🙏🏽❤️

You know I would get those a lot back when I did saunas and steam rooms every day. I think not covering my head and then going out into the cold air did it 🤷🏾‍♀️

If it is because some water got in, put drop of alcohol inside, it will help to make the water evaporate

🥹

Uh oh. No fun if middle ear. Eustachian tube massage; it’s hella ouch tho.

I got stuck out of town waiting for an ear infection to get better once. Flying before you can regularly and easily pop your ears is a no go. See a doctor. Feel better soon. Ear infections suck.

🙏🙏🙏

Check your DMs dork

I’ve got 99 problems toddler problems ain’t one 🤣

Ouch, feel better soon 🫂

💜🤙🧡

I used to get them all the time as a scuba diver in SE Asia. Ibuprofen really helps a lot with the swelling and thus pain in the ear. Pseudoephedrine will open up the eustachian. If it gets real bad your doctor will probably need to give you Bactrim.

I had an ear infection while on one of my Hawaii visits. Do NOT ride in a helicopter with an ear infection.

Crap. Get well soon. Hope you can still enjoy nostrica

Oh so sad to hear that, dude

Ouch….I hate those. I stay clear of the ocean for a few days after any rain event. Just walks alongside….get well soon.

33% colloidal silver, 33% white vinegar, 33% pure alcohol - all in a dropper. Shake it and drip drip drip, hold, stir it up with an ear bud, shake the head and do it all again. This keeps me surfing! 🤙

That's why silver still has real utility value :D. anti-bacterial colloidal silver works.

is there access to all these items in Uvita 🤷🏻‍♀️

& how easy

A good pharmacy for the colloidal silver and 100% alcohol and white vinegar from the local fish and chip shop. 🕺

ok

Get well soon 🫡

Hope you get well soon PV 🤙💪

Sorry, Jack. Worst pain I’ve ever had. Hang in there.

It's really very worse. It deprives listening and puts in a very bad state.

May the one who suffers take good care of himself and with God's help everything will be better.

Hope you feel better soon. Much love 😘💜💜💜

Analgesic in dropper helps. I hope you get one and feel better. Amigo 🫂

Need me to bring you something lover? 💕 I’ll take care of you

Awe my love, need me to bring you something? 💕 @jack

1:1 isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide mix - drip into ear canal

Yes they are! Take care of yourself! You need to see a doctor. 😥 Hope you get well soon.

Forsure. Got surfers ear and it’s no joke.

So painful and debilitating.

Hope it comes good 🫂

is it all pussy? might be a yeast infection

Gotta keep the vitamin D levels maxed!

Get some antibiotics! Advil or Tylenol for pain!

❤️‍🩹

Hope you heal quickly.

Bad timing. Feel better soon. 💜

I see that your nostrica buddies like me in this community and like stuff I post on anything you say, I feel accepted in this Bitcoin world lol. Told you you’re my luck & feel good person 😉 💕🍀😍@jack

I get paid a pittance to sort out these things. Doctors get paid a fortune for failure. Just saying.

Aaaaaand... suddenly everyone on NOSTR is a doctor

#[0]

Imagine if he tried to implement ALL these suggestions. The ear will explode 😂 Poor guy. I hope he put the phone away and went to real doctor.

The last person I would go to is a real doctor. After the last 3 years my confidence has gone from low to zero. Health was stolen from us in a sort of land grab leaving everyone confused. My goal is fully decentralised healthcare, but without everyone jumping in with their favourite BS solutions. Progress is... slow.

Same.

Followed 🤙

Back!

I'm also suffering it right now.

As suggested by some oriental medicines try to gently put some tea tree oil in the ear with a soft stick.

We do the oil remedy too..hope you both feel better soon 🫂

🙏🫂🙂

I’m sorry please get better

You come up with all the apps! Can’t call a doctor! There must be one on the resort! Ask and you shall receive!

Get better Jack !

Ay Mae! Get better soon buddy 🙏

Reminds me of when I did the same tricks and had to go to the Dr finally. He admonished me gently saying you need antibiotics for the inner ear

aww, jack, get lots of rest so you can feel better. everyone wants an irl hug. 🤗

People are taking notice of your post.

Added to the https://member.cash/hot feed

Sorry to hear that. Get better soon.

😔 hoping for a quick recovery for you 🤙

🫂

Does this mean you won’t be able to hear the ASICs..?

Some olive oil in the ear works. But I’m sure you have some real medicine. Any advice for someone just starting to invest in crypto? Moderate risk is ok if potential return is high. Thanks and I hope your feeling better post haste

:( not good. Must do an ear cleaning, use anti-bacterial meds & cover ears :(((

Get well soon bro! 🙏🏼

Put a garlic clove in your ear.

My grandmothers remedy that always saved me in an instant

Grannies remedies r second to none!

It might sound silly, but always does the job.

Garlic is extremely good as both anti-viral and anti-biotic, so why not?

exactly. just not the norm for people to do, so they may see it as silly.

Take a piss in a cup and use a dropper to drop your urine into your ear. It's called urine therapy, IYKYK. Most powerful natural healing modality for man, along with fasting. It'll get rid of your ear infection pronto.

Jack if you need me to man up and help a brother out I got you.

F I wasn't serious jack in my dms right now..

If you try to clean your outer ear with water / peroxide and a syringe, make sure the water is warm - if not it will throw off your equilibrium and you might become sick / lose balance.

I learned this the hard way a couple weeks ago.

Next time tell him to wear a condom

Garlic oil brother.

Couple warm drops in ear. Good to go

Literally 2 drops of chlorine dioxide and it's gone, no doctor, no antibiotic and most of all no more pain. This from experience and also worked for a friend.

#TrumpBleach #TheUniversalAntidote

#ChlorineDioxide

We all know about

NOSTER

Bitcoin

Devolution

Etc....

... but supprised few know about chlorine dioxide.

One day everyone will know and it will bring down the corrupt healthcare system just like Bitcoin will bring down the FED.

Trump tried to tell you.

NASA proclaimed it a universal antidote in 1987.

Frustrating looking at my spelling and not being able to change it...."Nostr"😖

Y'all can just shoot me now. I deserve it . 😞💜

Get a bottle of Swimmers Ear, 5 drops each ear dab dry with toilet paper🤙🏼

Most effective med available in CR, helps over night, 2-3 drops and plug with some tissue / cotton. Mornings and evenings until gone. We thank it every time it saves the day:

I have some!

🫂

just pour vodka in it noob

Hair dryer on low heat into the ear for ten minutes

Toast half garlic direct on the flame and wrap it around with cotton, put it in to your external ear cavity while still warm, it works every time for me since I was a kid, I’m already 39 and that’s something I learned from my grandma and mom.

There are some excellent ear drops from Australia called ‘aqua ear’. Find something similar and put in your ears right after surfing/swimming

The Jungle heals us fast brother! 🙌

🫂 hope you get well soon brother 🤙

Maybe, you should see a doctor.

It could be a targeted attack by tptb, after all bitcoin is their rat poison. Are others around you experiencing the same symptoms? Paging @TheTyrantsMuse

🫂

🫂

Wtf why are people zapping you for having an ear ache? Is that a godundme for some otc meds? 😜

Get well soon!

And the tooth

And the tooth

And the tooth

In the name of Christ Jesus, I command Jack’s ear infection to go right now. I release healing and life to his whole body. So be it

feel better soon. 🫶🏻

Some people say a mixture of half rubbing alcohol and half white vinegar will help.

Feel better Brother

🫂🤙🏼

Damn! No scuba diving for you!

My kids and my dog get them. It’s the worst. Sending healing thoughts… 👂🤙

Had 5 this winter can confirm they are not fun

Лучше в больницу, самолечение опасно в таких случаях 🙏

put a hot, damp towel or heating pad over infected ear and get some rest. If pain intensifies see a doctor immediately

slice an onion in half and wear it in a thin scarf like earphones. results guaranteed in 10 minutes

Sounds like a problem in understanding or wisdom, depending on which ear.

Can you find any colloidal silver? Great for so many things! Great to always have around.

So sorry to hear and hope it’s cleared up by now!

If not or for future, one of the best remedies I know is tea tree oil on a piece of cotton wool and set in the opening of the ear (NOT deep inside).. the fumes from the tea tree will penetrate and kill infection ..

Can burn a little, diluting with olive oil helps with that.

💜

Codiene not OTC there?
