How can I get fluid out of my inner ear? It's making me dizzy and is killing me. Doctor already tried antibiotics and they didn't help. Does anyone have any ideas?

Well, allergy can causes persistent middle ear fluid. Antibiotics are to cure or prevent an infection, not to clear up the fluid. Normally fluid it's self will just go away naturally. If it doesn't then you may need a small and simple surgery to remove it. As always surgery should be last choice. I don't know of any drugs off hand or treatments to empty out your ear, but I suggest being persistent with your doctor until you come to a remedy for this.

yes...persistence! well, my doctor says that ear drops are not effective! i've been on mucinex D but i'm also hypothyroid and the D makes me jittery and have palpitations. so, i can't have too much of that! i've had two sets of tubes put in when i was little. my mom is a HUGE smoker. thanks goodness i'm not around that anymore. i'm just wondering if the problem is structural and if a ENT will do anything about it! i think my doctor doesn't think it's as big of a deal as i do. she also thinks a ENT won't help. that's VERY discouraging to hear! i don't believe her though. next time i'm in the office...i'm requesting a refferal!
