So, where to begin. In February of 2011 I acquired a double ear infection and double pink eye at the same time. My doctor prescribed me antibiotics for my eyes and drops for my ears. 4 months passed and no change in my ears. Doctor gave me more drops but instead told me my infection turned from bacterial to a fungal infection. hoping the drops would work, they never did after using them as prescribed. Now it's march of 2012 and my ears continue to drain a yellow liquid that if not removed, dries up and forms a crust around each ear, alternating one or the other in severity. The crust acts as a scab and when I try to remove it, that part of my ear begins to bleed as if I had just pulled off a scab. My ears alternate being inflamed and at the current moment, one ear is so bad that it feels like I have put a cotton ball in it and can't really hear good. It's like that one ear is so clogged with "something" that needs to be removed. I'm so sick and tired of dealing with the crap. It is so irritatingly painful that I can't stand it.On top of that, my ears itch like CRAZY but i cant even attempt to ease my itch without horrible pain. I'm just ready for it to be better, but all attempts have failed. Does anyone have any input on what might be causing this problem in BOTH of my ears simultaneously.

Thanks
Meg
