slightly differet ear problem

[jplanm]

I just finished my certification this weekend. Yay!

Saturday, my right ear clogged up. It only hurt when
it was clearing on the way down. But it sure made a lot
of noise during the whole dive.

I take potassium iodide drops, and a decongestant before
diving.

Now, my ear is clogged, and I spit a bit of blood out
-usually early in the morning. It doesn't hurt, but
I can see that it might in another day or two.
I have swim ear, doesn't do anything but burn the skin
a bit.

Go see the doc, - yes. I did a dive in Hawaii and had the
same issue. Only it drained pretty quickly. When I got
back, Ihad the doc look at it and there was a bit of blood
behind the eardrum. He told me to chew gum, take
decongestants. In 2 weeks, (before my cert dive) I
had himlook at it again, and all was normal.

But for now, it is driving me crazy. I can tell there is
a good deal of water in it. The dives weren't especially
painful, and it hasn't hurt since it clogged onSat.
But it is irritating.

Any inpug? - Imay have small eustachian tubes.
