Well- I'm not a healthcare professional. But I used to get all kinds of ear pain/infections when smoking- now that I'm off the tobacco all of that has gone away. It was more or less chronic. Now gone.
I'd have a hard time thinking that one day of vaping could cause an ear infection. But remember that an allergy can look like an infection (check this with your doctor). If you are allergic to PG or a flavoring it can show up anywhere (and if vapor gets into the compartments leading to the ear....).
Just some thoughts... but as always go with what the doctors say.
I've heard of stomach and lung pains when first vaping, but an ear infection is a new one. Gut reaction is that it's a coincidence. What did the hospital say?
I don't think it is related. My son had ear infections, tubes, ear infections, tubes, and on and on, and THAT was before PV's were invented. LOL
I have heard of rashes, zits, bloody noses, stomach pains, and lots of other things. seems coincidental to me.

*spank!* Behave yourself AJ!!
OP, I DOUBT it has anything to do with your becoming a vaper of distinction. HOWEVER, ear infections CAN be caused by several things..one of which is an imbalance of fluid within the ear. We all know that when you first start out, it has a tendancy to dry you out so????
In closing, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm siding with the illustrious AJMoore and drink plenty of liquids and take your antibiotics...
Domino, my bad. I took the question "literally"
In all sincerity, I have had (one time in my life) an unbelievable ear infection. Unfortunately for me, it was during a period of time I had to cross the Atlantic 2 1/2 times by air. I thought it was going to be the end of me. I really feel for you Nu2Blu and I hope the antibiotics work. Domino has some very good insight on the possible causes and very good advice on intake of liquids.

Thanks for the heartfelt sympothy's. Doc say's come back tomorrow. I didn't bring up vaping with her. This Doc was so dingy she flat out said "i don't know what to do" and called the specialist. I didn't mention the vaping but will tomorrow In the mean time plenty of liquids as you all suggest and take my medicine. I'll keep you all "posted"
Da pain Da pain boss......

If your juice has PG in it you might want to consider the possibility that you could be allergic. Sorry you are having so much trouble
the only thing i seem to experience is a weird feeling in my throat. its not sore or anything just feels and tastes wierd.... but again i'm new at this and barely know how to load the thing. lessee all i know about it is it says MP on it . i like the weight and feel of it and i love the thought of busting a 35 year old monkey off my back and stop giving them cash for killing me. never liked that idea i coulda bought 3 houses and a boat by now on the cash i spent smoking 35 years.

You might also consider seeing a Dentist.
I had what I thought was an ear infection for the longest time, even saw a doctor and got the antibiotic drops and penecillin. That helped a little, but the problem never went away completely.
I finally went to the dentist (for unrelated reasons) and found that my wisdom tooth was actually causing the problem.
Got wisdom teeth pulled, ear infection went away.
Tooth problems can cause problems in your ears.
Sorry for your pain, I've been there.

If you have recurrent ear infections then I would recommend seeing an ENT. I really doubt that vaping has anything to do with your ear infection, but it should be checked out none the less if it keeps happening. Ear infections in adults usually happen after bouts with a cold virus, seasonal allergies or flying on an airplane. They can also be caused by the misuse of Q-tips or other things to clean your ears.
I'm fighting myself not to make a joke about not "smoking" your pv through your ear... *slaps hands*
Seriously though, I would tend to doubt it was caused by vaping, But I'm not a doctor so I'll just say, talk to your doctor, see what she says (dingy or not), take your meds, drink lots of water and see how it goes.

I would have to concur with the rest of the non medical panel here. I doubt vaping was the cause of the ear infection. But listen to the others, take your meds, drink lots of fluid get better and enjoy vaping. Your body, friends, bank account will thank you for it.
