I'm having the same problem in my ear, could u tell me what u did to fix it.

I get it all the time and it smells like belly buttons. I've had it for about 3 yrs and once I ended up in hospital with terrific head pains they tested me for meningitis and cat scan nothing showed and it passed in a day. I went to see my doctor and got very good advice "What do you want me to do about it" he said and prescribed me ear drops I never used them and have never been back since. However I am going tomorrow as it's getting worse. I'll post when I'm back
