For about 12 years, I have had a clear seepage that drys inside my ear, and on the back of my head. I am a 54-year smoker, age 68. Many days, my sinuses are so clogged or runny, that I take a 10-mg Zyrtec, that seems to help. The seepage is such in my ears, that it drys out, and is similar to dandruff, and needs cleaned out twice a week. What has caused this, and DO NOT tell me to quit smoking.
