My right ear has been feeling stuffy for the last week ...several times when I cleaned it with a q-tip (yes yes i know bad for my ears) there has been black stuff on the qtip..i thought it was really strange but i wasn't in any pain. Tonight after putting in ear drops a pretty large black slimy thing ..(for lack of a better way of putting it) came out of my ear. WTH could it be?? Im kinda freaking out. Any way I was wondering if it could be connected to the fact that i have 11 abscessed teeth at the moment that desperately need pulled. Has anyone ever heard of something like this?
