moisture in my ears am (sinus infection, infection)

[NCtoMiami]

Hello,

I don't know what to try. When i wake up in the morning my ears feel moist. If i put qtip it comes out little wet. Doc said to try fluticasone spray. I am tired on using it. This morning i woke with sore throat and mucus in my throat. Help

I am surprised no one has answered you. But its probably because this could be many different things. A sore throat and mucus in the throat means there is more involved than just your ears. You could have an ear infection, a sinus infection, a cold, an allergy problem and a dozen other things. This has been an extremely bad allergy season with many many people sick (including me). I would suggest trying a couple drops of peroxide/water in your ears and see if it dries them up. Repeat for a few more days. If the sore throat persists, go to the doctor and get it cultured. Could be strep.
PS I am not a doctor and have no way to give you a real diagnosis.

This morning i gargled with salt water and vinegar. My throat is better this afternoon. I still have a feel of mucus in my throat. Mucus comes out clear. I will gargle again before bed time. I will do peroxide/water for few days. Thanks for the information. If no change i will go back to my doctor. All she will say is allergy.
