Hello again guys. Thank you all for the well wishes I really appreciate it. So far I'm doing much better than I was when I posted this thread but I've still got a bit of a ways to go before I'm feeling like my normal self again. I was diagnosed with a severe case of otitis externa aka Swimmer's ear which is an infection and inflammation of the outer ear. I've been on two meds (a oral and ear drop med) and they've helped relive me off the infection, drainage (yeah yuck), and most of the swelling in and around the ear. I can finally eat and chew without severe pain :3! Yay. Unfortunately I still can't hear so well from my right ear yet and swallowing pops my ear... The sounds are kind of muffled but hopefully as the days go by I'll get that back to normal again. The doctor explained the start of my infection was from a scarring in my right ear due to a skin allergy I've had from some time. Apparently Q-tips are really bad to use also xD So yeah moral of the story don't use those xD.
I will slowly make my way back as my condition improves (both skin condition & ear). Fingers crossed that my hearing didn't suffer much from this nasty infection though.
Again thank you guys for the patience, understanding, and kindness.
