Do see your family doctor and let your neurologist know 'if' you start getting monthly ear infections for I found that too is tied into MS.

I went over a year getting monthly ear infections. I would see my family doctor, he would prescribe an antibiotic, it would clear then the following month the process would start again.

I now use daily otic 2% ear drops; 4 drops in each ear and this keeps away the monthly ear infections. My family doctor did a culture on my throat (looked like strep but wasn't); it was in my throat and ears. It was a bacteria that belonged in my lower intestines.

Earlier, another family doctor I saw saw this infection in my throat and said it was near my spine and could easily go into my brain; said he had seen it many times before. He was an older, experienced doctor. I too was running a pretty high fever. At 99 lbs. -- little girl's size 12 pants -- (30 lbs. lighter than my size 7 pants) I was given a painful shot in my bum that dispersed the antibiotic over a 5 day period.

Now I'm going through something new. I don't have an ear infection or wax buildup; saw my family doctor. But I'm losing the hearing my my left ear. This too is tied into MS because when I see my neurologist at the MS Clinic in Pittsburgh he checks my hearing by rubbing his fingers together by my ears asking if I can hear it. Now I cannot hear the dial tone on the phone in my left ear.

Oh, too this started years ago by ringing in my ear; now that ringing in my left ear has gone and I have extremely loud, high-pitched ringing in my right ear.

Just my experience over the years with my ears...only having MS dx. Not saying this is what is going on with you... Take care.
