My ears get hot then feel like they are draining and itching then they ache and ache and then things become muffled.
Last month we went to the hospital it was middle and swimmers ear infection. They were concerned about it spreading to my brain cause it was hurting the back of my head and they said it was really swollen so they gave the same antibiotics and some ear drops. The pain was gone and then this month it came back a week ago and I was using the ear drops and they gave it helped until it couldn't help no more.
Went to the hospital last night and was told it's scarring in both ears and bulging ear drums. I have been told to go see the ear nose throat doctor because I have some congestion and my sinus on my forehead is swollen and aching and I have runny nose. I have Flonase, antibiotics and Mucinex D to help but nothing for pain. It took forever for me to stop hurting and go to sleep. Fast acting Tylenol is not as fast with this.
I ended up going back to another hospital and they said that I have an Viral infection / virus and that it is going to have to run its course. They also said that this is called eustachian tube dysfunction bilateral and its the tubes in ya ears and sinus cavity become clogged. The only thing I can do is a saline cleanse that goes through the nose and clear out the sinus cavity, salt water gargle, take my Zyrtec, some cold medicine and Tylenol and ibuprofen at the same time and rest until I start feeling better.
The antibiotics is not really going to help but I see why she gave it to me just incase it does become an infection I would be covered.
