if the fluid in the middle ear is present longer than three months it should be surgically removed by aspiration and usually tubes placed. this protects the hearing. trapped middle ear fluid is supposed by be naturally absorbed by the body but during this absorption process the fluid can become more viscous/thicker and even become glue-like. a vacuum can develop sucking the eardrum inward to the point where it cannot move and those tiny little middle ear bones cannot transmit sounds normally. in this case even tubes will not help it drain. it must be removed or hearing will become threatened. after watchful waiting to delay putting in tubes and having this fluid aspirated there are no medical alternatives. no medications will reduce this fluid if the body does not naturally reabsorb it.
if you have fluid in your middle ear how do you get it out even with tube in ears?
