I have gone to several of doctors and have been tested nothing is wrong. The list ER i went to the doctor told me I had a lot of wax in my ears I went home and used a ear wax removal kit but no wax was out and still the same problem! What sholud I do. Also for the past 3 months I have been getting a rash around my neck. Do you know wht this might be?

Hello,

Without examination,it is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis,but the various possibilities for your symptoms are ear infections,chronic sinusitis,lassa fever or leukemias(very rare).

I sincerely advise you to consult an ENT surgeon and discuss these possibilities with him.Acomplete evalution of the ears and sinuses are required to confirm a diagnosis.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have the same kinds of problems except for the sore throat. I have been diagnosed by the doctors as having produced too much wax in my ears. My left ear all I can hear is static like the kind you hear from the tv. They gave me ear wax removal ear drops but they don't seem to work. The rash around my neck I believe is a heat rash but I could be wrong. I was given benadryl for the itching and a cream to help make it go away. I don't seem to have any answers but I'll see if I can find anything cuz I'm curious too.
