 [ Symptoms ] ear infection occasionally i get vertigo followed by nausea then tremendous migraine  when ever i see my ent he finds inner ear infection and always the same ear the right ear i have had cats scan of my head and a special balance test there is the name for it but i forgot it the vertigo is so bad that everything spins around that leaves me sick for couple of days what if anything should i do [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this it sounds very unpleasant first just to clarify an iud is an intrauterine device  it is an implant that goes inside the uterus i think what you meant to say is you had birth control implants rods removed from your upper arm you do not say when you had this procedure done but it is not unexpected you would experience bruising possibly considerable bruising since the inside of the upper arm is a very tender area and pain for the same reason you also would experience swelling which is a normal response to having a minor procedure like the rod removal it is also not abnormal for the stitches to ooze for the first 24 hours after you have the birth control rods taken out your health care provider should have given you some instructions about what to do regarding the stitches sutures generally speaking you should be able to gently cleanse the stitches using lukewarm water and plain soap pat dry apply an antibacterial ointment such as triple antibiotic ointment or neosporin to the sutures as long as you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in the ointment many people fear any wound will become infected so they monitor closely for what they believe is pus coming from the wound usually any fluid you see oozing from a wound is not pus but is simply part of the natural healing process it takes several days for an infection to develop so if you just had the birth control rods removed today it would be virtually impossible for you to be experiencing symptoms of an infection where the rods were removed if it has been more than three days since you had the rods removed and you are experiencing symptoms the next step is to take your temperature using a thermometer if you have a fever over 101f then you may indeed have an infection you should seek medical treatment in general you can elevate your arm apply ice packs and take an over the counter pain reliever to help ease the situation at any rate if you are concerned about what is going on you should contact the health care provider who removed the birth control rods he or she is in the best position to advise you how to proceed wishing you well
