I have been dogged by ear problem last week and had difficulty hearing because my ears felt like it was filled with air. The pharmacist whom I had consulted checked my ear with a device and told me that my problem was due to a build up of wax in my ears. His prescription was ear drops and told me to apply a few drops in each ear and then let them melt the wax before I clean with cotton buds. I did that for a few days but still I was having problems hearing.
Finally Kamariah suggested that I go and get a massage and see if it would work. I had gone to the Uncle's place at around 3.00 p.m. but saw that he had three clients. So I went home, had a bath and watched a bit of the royal wedding telecast first before going again at 4.30 p.m. However, I was told by his wife that he had gone out for a while. So I went to order food for my dinner at a shop nearby. When I went back, another patient was already there waiting for him but still he was not back yet. So I went to get my food from the shop before going back there at 5.10 p.m. By that time, he was back and already treating the other patient. I had to wait until 5.35 p.m. for my turn. Then the torture began. Ouch! Ouch! Believe me, it is no fun getting a massage from the Uncle but then I would be okay after the ordeal. He told me that I had a lot of heat and wind in my body which caused the imbalance of pressure in my ears.
After the massage I was feeling much better and my hearing improved. However, the Uncle said that I needed to consume some Chinese herbs to further improve the situation. I might need another session with him before I am completely cured.
Actually, I have already drunk the herbs that he prescribed and am feeling much, much better already. If I had not recovered after the massage, I was planning on going to consult an ENT specialist in Ipoh today.
