What Causes Fluid In Right Ear Causing Balance Problems?
I have been having ear and balance problems for the last year. I have been to the doctor and he says that I have fluid in my right ear but it is dark in the left ear (where I am having the ringing or buzzing sound). A year ago when I had a respritory sickness, I went to a local clinic to see a dr. He washed my ears out because he said both ears were full of wax. That was when this problem started. Nothing came out of the left ear and only a small amount of wax from the right ear. What do you think.

I can understand your concern.Cause for fluid and Balance problems could be due to bacterial or viral infection of the middle ear which is called as Otitis Media.Fluid accumulation for a long time may lead to hearing loss.Since you are suffering with these symptoms from last 1 year,you definitely need to consult ENT specialist.He will be able to perform certain tests to examine the ear and to assess the hearing function.
