I have chronic ongoing ear infections as well as sinus buildup. It's very uncomfortable, I can't hear and I had sinus surg. in 2004 and it was totally useless.

Does anyone else have chronic ear infections? What do you for it?

I get ear infections all the time. My ears constantly itch & are also painful! Fluids tend to build up behind my eardrums, so I can't hear. When this happens my ears will also feel "full".

Do you have an ENT doctor? My ENT placed tubes in my ears 3 years ago. They helped my infections & hearing greatly. A test can be done to show how much pressure is behind the eardrums. It's usually done at the same time as a hearing test. Steriods help my ears & sinuses some, but have destroyed my bones.

Surprisingly ear problems aren't common in CF. I didn't have many ear problems until about 10 years ago when I had a Frontal Sinus Obliteration. It was suppose fix my severe sinus issues, but only made them worse! I have massive sinus problems even for CF. They make me misserable!

Sorry I can't help much. I just wanted you to know you're not alone.

What do your ear infections feel like? I have been having a lot of pain in my left ear, but ONLY at night. I don't recall ever having an ear infection in my life so I don't really know what to expect.

My thinking is that my pain is related to my sinuses being so blocked. I was recently on Zyvox for two weeks and my sinus pain was gone completely, but a few days after I stopped the Zyvox the pain in my sinuses came back along with sever pain in my ears at nights (when I fall asleep on that side).

Is that what ear infections feel like? Or do they usually hurt during the day too?

I have constant fluid buildup and it's so disgusting. I can't hear. I had tubes when I was a kid but they didn't help much. I still have holes in my eardrums so constantly have fluid there all the time. It's sooooo gross and the pressure makes me throw up.

I never heard of Zyvox.

My son also has chronic and severe ear infections,(usually given Augmentin to treat) Do any other children also have this symptom?
