mrstore said:Thanks! I've been to the doctors this morning and it's a really bad infection, possible perforation, need to go back in a couple of weeks and maybe be referred to ENT as its so bad got some antibiotics. Just wondering when I'll stop crying......
The perforation will heal itself, it's actually a good mechanism for getting rid of infection. The antibiotics will help.
I've had more ear infections than I can count, my GP loves to scare students by making them look in my ears without telling them about all the scarring! I've had three mastiodectomy ops and a choleastoma removal, I regularly get Mastoiditis (although this apparently is a childrens complaint), anyway what I was trying to say is, you'll feel better soon promise!!
Oh if you haven't got your prescription yet ask the Pharmacist about decongestants they help to clear the tubes which helps you feel better x
