Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 - that couldn't have felt good. Les (hubby, 35, CVID) had ruptured ear drums off and on when he was between 5 and 8. Suffered some hearing loss and was in speech for most of elementary school. His mom described the ruptures as blood ending up all over his pillow and face, a trip to the ped in the morning and the eardrum slowly healing (hole closed up). What happened to you sounds like something (either the vicodin, antibiotic or something else) relieved some type of pressure on your eustachian tube and it finally opened up and allowed all the inner ear puss that had been accumulating to drain out finally. Although being yellow does still mean infection our ENT always says that puss draining is a good thing because it means the eustachian tubes are doing their job. Hopefully now the puss is draining out the pressure should be better and the infection might start resolving. In my humble mommy-opinion I would take some Advil or another anti-inflammatory to help bring down the swelling in the ear which would help keep the tube open and help with the pain. Good luck and let us know how your dinner goes.
