Also, if it stays bad for several more days, take your ass to a Ear Nose Throat doctor, get a referral or whatever.
Don't mess around with your hearing. GP docs don't usually know much about ears.

I was going to post the same thing. I was mis-diagnosed (sp?) with an ear infection several times by a GP before going to an ENT specialist. He took care of it in one visit.

Well I'm not sure what "bad" is. Pain is not an issue. As far as hearing loss, someone posted here that it can last for awhile. I read on the internet that the fluid can stay trapped for some time, which I infer means the hearing loss can linger as well. I guess if there's no change by tomorrow I'll give the doc a call. If they tell me it may take a week/month, then I will SCKM. (I'll get video and arrange for payments from Diablo to my family.)
