- mild hearing loss, low quality of the sound(right ear)
- high-pitched tinnitus (right ear)
- discomfort (right ear)
- cracking sound when swallowing (left ear)
Those were the symptoms I was experiencing for 3 months after my ear infection. (My doctor treated it with neomycine ear drops)
It got worse 1 month ago, I noticed a yellow ear discharge from both ears. I visited an ENT specialist and he told me that it’s just ear wax / sebum (Picture: http://i36.tinypic.com/214p95k.jpg). He syringed my left ear and it was clear for a week (my hearing was fine). When I started to feel pain in the right ear, he applied Castellani’s Paint in the ear canal.
A different doctor syringed my ears again 1 week later and I woke up the next day with both ears swollen…
He diagnosed me with chronic ear infection and prescribed some medicines: Ciprofloxacine ear drops called Proxacin (0.3% 3 mg/ml 5 ml, 4 drops per day), Augmentin (Amoxicillinum Acidum clavulanicum 2g / day), Budesonide nasal spray (2 doses / day), Ketokonazole (Nizoral) tablets (200mg / day)
I feel really bad right now, my hearing hasn’t recovered and I suffer from many side effects of those medicines. I can hear a heartbeat in my left ear after applying those ear drops and my tinnitus is louder. My pharmacophobia makes it even more difficult. Please, help me.
