If fluid has built up it may cause pain or discomfort or changes in how things sound. If you were diagnosed, your doctor would have given you home remedies on how to get the fluid to drain or dry up. A lot of times this can resolve on its own, however if there is some type of infection you will need to see your primary care doctor or an urgent care/walk-in clinic doctor to prescribe you medications such as antibiotics. Chiropractors do not prescribe medications. If the pain or the fluid build up worsens, it is possible your medical doctor may have to do a procedure to help drain it.
No. Not in most if not all states. I suggest you check with your PCP. Jay H Schwartz, DC, DIBCN, DIBE
No, a chiropractor cannot drain an ear. Depending on what is causing it, your treatment options are different. I would ask your medical doctor for advice.
A chiropractor can absolutely help your body to drain ear fluid on it's own. Chiropractic care can decrease inflammation and increase the connection between the brain and the body. This will allow your body to take pressure off of the eustachian tube which is often a cause of ear fluid in the middle ear and it will drain naturally. The ears nose and throat are all connected so if any one of those structures becomes inflamed you are likely to notice it in the others. It would help to know why you are having the inflammation, cold, pressure change, or something else to make sure you get the right treatment. Visit a trusted healthcare professional or a chiropractor for further evaluation.
