xQc suffered from ear infection, says he's better now

After a short break, xQc has now returned to streaming. In his latest stream, which went on for over eight hours, the 27-year-old streamer explained his medical condition. He mentioned it was "one of the worst pains" he has experienced and said:

"People that don't know, I've been gone for a week, which is insane for me okay, but trust me on this okay, I didn't stream because I literally could not okay, I literally could not. Wearing headphones would have been a disaster, okay. My ears were bugging, like literally, bugging."

He further added:

"Like yesterday was a little bit better, like very much better, and today's like almost perfect, but it's not there yet. I think like, ear infection is one of the worst pains like I've ever seen, ever. I didn't even know that something like this could have even happen to a human."

"It's so f**king bad. I wish it on nobody. Having both ear infected is like, so f**king bad. Holy f**k it's bad. I can't even explain how bad it is."

After contracting the virus, he mentioned:

"And now then, I'm getting absolutely obliterated. Breathing is fine, I have a headache, all my muscles hurt..."
