Knitting and Nausea From Syringing Mar?
"Will you please explain why I am always made
faint and nauseated when I endeavor to syringe
my ear for an itching sensation in the canal?
Answer? In the presence of a perforation of
the drum, or without such perforation, if the
water is either a trifle cool or a trifle too warm,
fainting or nausea is likely to occur because
the circulation of the lymph in the semicircular
canals in the inner ear is disturbed? A sort of
scandal results. Always have the water
at about body temperature.
