853 - Weeping Ear Infection Microsuction

[@Emma-Jayne]

I love these the best. I hunt and rewatch all of your infected ear wax removals. They are super satisfying to see cleared, you know then the medication will help and the patient will be out of pain and nasty infection so much sooner 🙌🏻

[@viviennejordan215]

I'm not normally into the infection videos, but I do watch them when they arrive. This was Excellent Neel, a Great Job! I Hope the patient and the medication can get on top of this infection now, and ask for Help if need be. When You're not well, or You're 'under the weather,' it can be hard to look after Yourself. I Hope this poor person has someone at home to apply any drops, and get them to take their medication.

[@JaniceB6]

@@viviennejordan215 my ex said a Dr gave him drops for his ears n I asked if they were cleaned or even looked at n he said no n I said the drops won't help if the ears are full! Maybe some Dr. aren't "into ears" like we are and don't want to mess w/them

That green scabby stuff would drive me crazy on the entrance to my ear. Fortunately, we can’t see into our own ears! We have Mr. Neel!

[@josephinehogg3629]

This elderly gentleman really needs someone to regularly clean his outer ear, allowing access to fresh air down there

[@juneburt4410]

OMG Neel you must have a really strong stomach for this one, what a fantastic job you done though clearing the infection.

Well done! I once had a chronic infection that lasted well over a year. After trying several doctors I was sent to an ENT who immediately suctioned my ear out. I’d spent the better part of a year trying to pull the “gunk” out with q-tips. Suction was such a relief!

[@penbrown4049]

You’re my new obsession and I don’t know why but you’re so soothing that I end up falling asleep. I’m tempted to shove something in my ear just so you can take it out whilst you narrate the whole thing. Weird.

That was a difficult one. Poor patient must have been so uncomfortable. Great job

[@donnagardner1507]

Would the crusty wax at the entrance of the ear come off with some really warm water and a cloth? just curious

[@darleneflattmann9991]

Loved the before and after shot. I have a question. Why would some of the cilia not be removed in this case? They just seemed to have so much debris. I absolutely do not mean to question your expertise at all. I totally admire you and your professionalism.

[@viviennejordan215]

I'm thinking that that would open up to infection getting deeper into the ear tissue. Like in the removal of Pilar Cysts, on the scalp, they used to shave the area. They stopped doing that, as it opened up the skin to infection. I did see a different channel though, shaving the area!

[@bugnurse]

@@viviennejordan215there has to be a way the entrance can be cleaned without scraping or plucking those hairs. Warm, damp ( not dripping water) 4x4’s to clean and soften those crustaceans. It looked so uncomfortable and continues to carry bacteria, if not repeatedly colonizing the ear. I understand why Neal does not, but it was making me a little uncomfortable (retired infection prevention nurse)…I guess the “bugnurse” in me never retires 😁

[@cassiemcfarlane1340]

Excellent ! 💕 Although I would not be able to resist scraping the crusty entrance. That would just drive me crazy 🤪

Mr neel delivers another great video

[@MeganC80]

Yes in the USA we still do dry mopping which I find has helped my patients a lot. I use it mostly within the first 3/4 of the ear canal not necessarily down by the eardrum but it really helps get the ear dry and again we can see it on camera so we’re not leaving a little bits and pieces of cotton throughout the ear. The only time we do irrigation is if the earwax is super hard and nothing is helping whatsoever, we will try to do irrigation but that is not used regularly.

[@drmantaray444]

Well of they can afford it cuz we live in the GOOD OLD US OR A

[@arianastetson5330]

His family could've at least cleaned his outer portion of the ear. That's almost like neglect

[@samanthafleming4122]

U r an awesome doctor ❤️ thank u for teaching me things about the ear I never knew

[@crunchyfrog0001]

If you're not supposed to use q tips what do you do if you have an itch in your ear?

[@chandracox6814]

I push in the little flap in the center of the outer ear and push it in (the little thing you plug your ears with) and gently rub that on my ear and it usually alleviates the itch. But...I also use cotton buds. Most people do tbh.

[@wwlittlejOfficial]

Yeah, generally q-tips are not *that* bad, but if u are dumb and really go nuts u can cause a lot of damage. I use them when I come out of the shower, trying to get my canal dry, also removing some surface exterior wax. I've been doing this for almost 30+ years with no issue. I also get deep inner ear itches and a q-tip works for that, but u have to be careful not to push wax deeper.

[@leenasharma1906]

Olive oil also help with dry skin

[@kellyjoiner4418]

Poke your clean finger in there, and quickly shake your hand lol. Seriously tho. I know nothing smaller than your elbow is pose to go in there, but I don't think your finger would go as far as a Q-tip. Mine doesn't anyway 😆 Just make sure your nails are short, cuz ouch 😬. 🌞

[@tinabennett469]

Just a suggestion, the next time you have an ear that is real goopy all the way up to the outer ear, try laying the hairs down in the goop all the way around and make yourself a hole in the middle so you can go in and take care of the inside that way. 😊

[@misska7535]

I rewatch a lot of your vids & this one truly looked do different. I don't remember hearing/ watching a video of yours with the "infected ear" having discharge, ugh seems do painful. When you said it had a smell I swear I was thinking that. I really hope for a speedy recovery. TY Mr. Niel again for an awesome video.

[@kellyjoiner4418]

I knew you would go back in for that rogue hair, good man 😊 The fluid that's coming out of the ear the same kind of fluid that drains down the back of the throat? If so, I can see why it's so inflamed. What runs down the throat can make it burn like crazy 😬 Nicely, and gently done Mr Neel. 🌞

[@tinabennett469]

NICE JOB cleaning it up!!! 🎉❤

[@majos2573]

I wonder about those many hairs in the ear canal. Don`t they also cause pain?

[@amityislandchum]

Are these procedures covered under the NHS? Or do patients pay out-of-pocket or with private insurance plans for this kind of thing? (Just wondering as someone from the US where we pay for EVERYTHING. I don't know how non-M.D. coverage works in the U.S.)

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

My insurance covers "medically necessary" physical therapy, such as post knee surgery or therapy to avoid lower back surgery. I don't know about ear cleaning, but I can imagine they would pay for something that would prevent more expensive treatment. For example, diabetics getting toe nails cut by podiatrists can prevent amputations.

[@leenasharma1906]

Hi if you go nhs you would need to be referred to ENT which is a very long wait. Neel is private, he charges £65 monaural and £95 binaural. You get an appointment pretty quick.

[@faeriefire99]

When the infection is more liquid, is it easier to remove more of the debris than when its spongy? Or is it more quantity based than consistency or type?

[@Silver261960]

Two questions…….Why can’t you use a fine oil to irrigate with? And why can’t you use an oiled gauze to wipe the entrance of the ear instead of scraping with a Jobson horn?

[@peggyallman7647]

OMG! Those skin peels were so satisfying!

[@annabellefrey5219]

Question; how is it that water is able to cause this, or other ear infections?

[@dixierae3442]

Would it not help to dab the crusty area with some olive oil to loosen the crusty area?

[@justincarter1217]

Hey neel what does this actual sensation feel like for the person being suctioned?

[@pixeldoc7119]

With respect to the "water" you keep referring to, do you make any differentiation as to whether this water is sterile, distilled, or just normal casual water from any tap? I would suggest that this would make a significant difference with respect to potential infection. Even sterile water can cause edema of the epithelial cells, but would not result in infection.

[@lilyofthevalley6992]

Thank you for the video you are amazing! I have a question though. I am from the US, and in the past I did have swimmers ear. After it was treated and everything healed, they told me I ould make a mixture of 50% alcohol and 50% vinegar solution to irrigate with as a preventative if my ears ever felt itchy. Do you think that is contraindicated as a preventative treatment for a fungal infection?

Do you ever clean the dried pus on the outside with a swab? Seems like the dried bits might cause pain if they fall in the ear.

So what are you going to do with the Crusty part right at the beginning of the ear

[@amandakrauth9511]

[@dreaminlayers]

We don't use metal syringes for anything in the US... And we don't use anything that rotates any fibers within the ear either. I don't know where that info came from. We have some doctors who use a plastic flushing device that is usually used for when there is something like a bug or someone can't handle any tools being inserted, but it's not used much.

[@BeliaLastes]

That looked like it was itchy inside that ear canal 😳

[@samhaddock7668]

Since working from home and zooming every day, I've had ear infections, strange discharge, and itchiness. Can these conditions be caused by wearing headphones? When I switch between headphones (which I prefer) and earbuds, the same happens. Is it possible that l might be reinfecting myself with earbuds (even though I wipe them down with alcohol swabs)? I would much rather deal with 5am traffic than the irritation in my ear(s). I never thought that a q-tip would be a staple on my desk.

[@AtinyElring]
