Ear issues

Hey all, just wondering how many of you guys also have ear issues, specifically one ear that’s always clogging or getting infected, losing hearing temporarily. For me it’s always been my left ear, and it’s always been explained to be because of my cleft lip. Every few years it gets bad enough to where I can’t hear much out of my left ear, and this is what I found inside today. At urgent care today because even though we got most of it out, and it seemed to be better, I woke up today with it feeling worse. Super annoying, I clean my ears with eardrops as often as I can but it never helps. Funny thing is my right ear is often dirtier but never gives me issues.

Update: got it all flushed out but my eardrum is perforated and water got behind, so I’m in more pain now 🫩

Swelling

Hey all, I’m about 2 months post op now. Didn’t have any major pain or issues, but the spot where the incision was made is still pretty swollen and sensitive. It’s only on the left side, and it’s not huge, but it’s definitely noticeable to me when I feel around there, and it makes that side of my groin a bit sensitive too. Is this normal? They never said anything on my week follow up, but she didn’t look too closely to be fair. When can I expect the swelling to fully dissipate?
