Fluid in ear. Help

So I have had fluid in my ear for about a year I think and the doctor told me to take a decongestant. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so how did they fix it.

Go see another doctor if the first one didn't help you.

A constant regiment of decongestant medicine will somewhat alleviate it but not totally. Oral steroids will clear it up temporarily. The only permanent fix is to get a tube in the affected ear. A simple operation but if its so chronic then its the last and final resort.

I had tubes in my ears when I was a little kid... I didn't like them though. I am taking sudafed right now but I don't know how much to take because I am weary of taking it in the first place.

hmm, well maybe it wasn't the tubes then, it might have been the pain. All I remember is that my ears ached very badly and the problem was resolved when they fell out. I was like 5 years old so it is a bit cloudy. If they don't hurt it doesn't seem like too bad of a idea honestly. My ears don't hurt but I can definitely tell there is fluid in there and definitely a bit of ringing.
