I had chronic ear problems from infancy to age 8 and had tubes put in my ears once or twice a year during that time.

In Buhner's bartonella book, he mentions otitis media as a symptom of bartonella. I looked that big, fancy word up and found it is basically fluid in the ear. Many babies and children have this, so I don't know what other causes there are for this problem. That said, I have many other symptoms of bartonella. I'm not sure about babesia, though.

Did anyone else have chronic earaches and fluid in the ears? Do you know which infection caused it?

I have bart and do sometimes get a sharp pain in my ear. I've struggled with sinus issues and fluid in ears, but thought it was related to sinuses. I don't know how long I've been infected, so maybe it was the lyme. I also have mild tinnitus and ear sensitivity.

These have improved with treatment.

I had that really bad 18 months ago and treating with Buhner protocol for Bart from January this year it has improved a lot. I used to get really decreased hearing with it and very sore ears and glands too. Hearing has been fine since June this year, still get a few fluid and skin problems in my ears if I get really stressed or cheat on my diet. I still add in some bart herbs now and again to my Lyme protocol. Houttuynia really helps with this for me.

Hope you find something that helps.

Hi WbF -

My ear problems were caused by yeast/fungal or biofilm overgrowth. Once I nipped that issue (which was not easy for me but it is for some people) my sinus, ear (fluid, crackling, sharp pain, itchiness), eye and chest sx all went away for the most part.

So that's one thing to look into. Here is more info on y/f overgrowth:

If you think you might also have swollen glands, then my bet would be on bart, which likes the nodes. I herxed horribly when I hit optimal doses of bart abx with swollen and very painf glands all throughout my face, neck, head, shoulders. Red Root reduced all of it within a few days.

Also, there are good tutorials online for gentle lymph massaging and dry brushing - but be sure to understand well what you're doing before you start this - method is very important.

Detoxing is also very important - please be sure you are hydrating well, supporting your liver/kidneys - with milk thistle seed, burdock root.

One of my first annoying symptoms was my ears felt like they were plugged up.

The kind of plugged up you get when you go higher in elevation.

I am pretty sure that mine was either sluggish lyme nodes or swollen lymph nodes. I did the lymph massage and also did red root. Of course I did all the other things too - diet, detox, buhner herbs and beyond balance.

Here is the massage for the lymph system. It won't hurt you at all to do it even if you have no swollen lymph nodes. My suggestion is do it 10 times and not the 50 times that she suggests. I did 50 and felt very uncomfortable. So I think going low and slow is better.

I had so much mold/yeast in the brain that earwax was excessive and itchy. Tinnitus and headaches were bad and frequent at this early time of my treatment. Most times I used peroxide on a swab and sometimes colloidal silver to clean and alleviate.

At different times a few beetles attempted to fly in my ear to eat all of the yummy fungus in the cool looking cave that was my ear. One hit with precision and crawled in. I immediately brought my ear to a light source and it turned around and headed towards the light.
