.... It HURT like FUCKING HELL when my eardrum ruptured. Doc looked with his scope and confirmed it was at the edge. More crud out of my ear (this time, mixed with blood; the yellowish crud was gross, but this would congeal like a blood clot. Really gross), but it didn't hurt. A few days later when I went in for the follow-up, it had healed nicely.

That crap comeing out of your ear, That was pus, which is more or less dead white blood cells. I used to be prone to inner ear infucktions, I had tube like 2-3 time when i was little. With me, I got wise to the earlyist sign which was it seemed like i had water in my ears that wouldn't come out, which was really the inner ear beginiing to fill with fluid. By 5 th grade I could tell my folk early enough to get me to the doc's and get some Aniti-biotics, down side this happed alot, nearly every year till I Got out of High School, and I have built up a tolerance to Augmentin.

Notice your question in response to what he said. "If you use Q-tips, you kill the hairs that remove earwax." "But without a Q-tip, how do you remove ear wax?"
Maradon! needs to hitch a ride with a Vogon constructor fleet.
I've been using qtips in my ear canal for about 20 years. How else do you remove the giant wads of wax that develop there?
Back to the main topic. If the ear drops are helping, then it's good that they are. However, it also means that the infection will build a resistance to antibiotics. If he's not headed back to NYC in the next day or so, you need to get him to a doctor to find a more effective solution.
I'm kinda surprised that a new yorker with a passport doesn't have any credit cards, or at least enough traveller's checks to get him through an emergency.
It's now worse than it was yesterday. If this infection doesn't get him, I will. 
If he feels so guilty about the damn money, he can friggin' pay me back. I don't want what happend to Deth to happen to him. quote:

He doesn't have a passport. You can go through Canada and the States with just a birth certificate. All he takes with him is some Canadian cash. He does have a credit card, but I don't know why he won't use it.

`Doc had this to say about Captain Planet:
I just realized something. Flying with an ear infection is very bad. So one way or another, he needs to be treated before he goes home. Tell him that he has two choices: either he goes to the emergency room, or you will hit him in the ear (or his groin, should it prove less defended) once every hour until he goes to the emergency room. Also, remind him that guys with hearing aids to not look macho, and you won't put up with any, "Talk into my good ear," crap.
That made me laugh. 
He doesn't fly home, he takes the bus.. 12 hours. X_X It would be SO much easier if he still lived in Buffalo. He says he's feeling better though.. He's sleeping now.
Once you have had a bad ear infection that goes on for a while, your chance of getting one in the future increases dramatically. Thus, if he doesn't get it treated well soon, he may be having to fight a lifetime of ear infections.
If nothing else works, drug him up with the tylenol 3s and a little alcohol, so he's out of it, and will be more suggestable.

That could lead to other things... and while definately relaxing and threaputic, I doubt it will have the desired effect of getting him to a Doc...
