Plugged ears, ear infections, headaches, pain in ear, Throbbing, Tinnitus

I wanted to share for 8 weeks plus I have had stuffed ears, ear infections, headaches, pain in ear, Throbbing, Tinnitus,. I have been to 2 different doctor and 3 different antibotics. and a Dentist.

1st doctor said it was Sinus Antibiotics, Decongestant ( which I look and a side effect can be ear aches)
2nd doctor said it was my tubes that were clogged and then said it may be a tooth Antibioctics, Decongestant(another that can have ear aches as a side effect. I wondering now about the doctors in our area.
Dentist Pulled tooth and gave me antibotics and a Decongestant(yes side effect earaches)

so after 2 doctors and having a tooth pulled I had finally had decided to go to a Specialist I have an appointment in 2 weeks. In the mean time I am growing more and more iritated with the problem so tonight we go to Walmart and they have an Otoscope called Doctor MOM Otoscope (What the Doctor looks in your ear with) I say what the heck I buy one and I buy Auro Ear drops. I am willing to try anything at this point. and I cant see the next doctor for 2 weeks.
Today I am praying for a healing from God. I am put on prayer list 2 weeks ago. I am begining to really worry about it being somthing very serious.

I come home My husband looks in both my ears No infection but I have ear wax packed 1/2 up both ear drums. I am thinking 2 different doctors looked in my ears never said a thing and gave me drugs I may not have needed. Any ways I drop Auro ear drops in my ear and it fizzez and Bubbles I take some Wax out of my right ear and The Ear pain is gone. I can hear clearly out of it. I do my left and it feels a little better but still plugged husband said it still has some wax so I will treat it for the recommended 4 days and I am pretty positive that it will open as the right one did. My headache which I have had for days from all the throbbing and ringing is finally easing up the whole right side feels 100% better

I wanted to share this with anyone who is having ear issue. If your like me NO Insurance having to pay out of pocket the Doctor Mom Otoscope may be a good investment. It may not be the answer for everyone. But it was for me

At 2 points during the last 8 weeks+ I did have fluid in the ears.

Did you feel fluid in your ears too along with fluid on the side of your face under your ears?  I have most of your symptoms except headaches and pain in the ear.  I think mine is tied to allergies which produces a thicker mucus in the middle ear making it harder to drain out the eustacian tubes.
