QUESTION: Hi Eric  ihave not seen a specialist about it but i have spoken to my doctor about it several times and he just give me some antibiotic drops trere is fluid in my ear most of the time. Regards Paul

Answer
Hi Paul,
Have you tried decongestants to dry up and drain the fluid?
You may have an abnormality with your eustachian tubes which normally drain fluid from the ears. You will need to see an ear specialist to determine if that is the case and what corrective measures need to be taken.
