I've had an ear problem for about 3 weeks, it first started as vertigo, then i woke up one morning with a bad ear pain in 1 ear. I went to A&E and they said i had a rather inflamed eardrum and gave me an antibiotic and some pain killers, followed by a weeks supply of difloflenic. i returned to the doctors who told me that i had glue ear, so now i am taking antyhystermines, nose spray and erthymycin so what happens if the ear infection does not clear up?
I have had many ear infectins, and this one I have had since last summer. Even being under the hospital has not got rid of it. I had a swab done, and this ear infection is a coliform infection. Even the medications for this ear infection has not cleared it. I really am fed up. I hearing is now bad.
I've had ear issues with the last year and a half where ear infections keep coming and going, my hearing is very poor as a result and I get lots of sinus problems and headaches from it, no hope from the doctos I've been seeing so far tho!!! any advice out there would be a blessing!!
