Ear problems
Question:
I have similiar problem. I think your Dr. is incorrect. I have fluid in my ear, fullness, throbbing like heart beat esp. when I bend over or lay down, pain sometimes, dizziness, etc. What has helped me most is taking Claritin-D which is claritin + pseudoephedrine(a stronger decongestant than whats in entex it’s the same stuff that’s in sudafed or any other cold medicine practically), allergy drops, a tube in my eardrum, and a keeping house alllergen free and using a Hepa air filter in bedroom. I’d think if you had infection you’d have a fever and it would BE visible to him. Perhaps the antibiotics are needless. Surgery sounds a bit extreme. I would strongly suggest you see several ent’s and go w/the most conservative esp.. cs you only have only one good ear. A tube in that eardrum wouldn’t be too risky though and maybe worth a shot just don’t get water in that ear then. Do you feel at all dizzy, disequilibrium etc? Please tell me your dr.’s hypothesis about the sinusitis referring pain to the middle ear. Brett

I do use Hepa filter in my bedroom and I don’t have very bad allergies anyway (it is mainly for my wife). I dont’ have any dizziness. And, like I said, hearing is fine. I would definately seek second opinion before I did any surgary.
