View Full Version : A question about ear ache and als

I have been on a antibotic for 6 days now, my cold is gone but my ear ache is still here.
I feel like I have a bubble in my ear that needs to be popped. Could ALS have anything to do with it? I know there is still some congestion between my ear and nose, but how long does it take to clear up. My Dr. said I was a little old to be having a ear infection. I plan to go back to him tomorrow if it's the same in the morning, my husband was wondering if we should call the ALS clinic first, what do you think, open for any suggestions, it's driving me crazy. Open for any home remedies also. Thanks, Rhonda

Rhonda,
That 'bubble' feeling can indicate an inner ear infection, or labyrinthitis. I got it after a cold....it can make you feel dizzy sometimes....it is viral and there isnt really much you can do for it but general things to keep your health up. You can look it up online---hope it goes away quick and you dont get the dizziness...
