Loss of Hearing And Sinus Infections Posted: 04-10-06 15:50pm
For the past 3 years between october and
april, I get a sinus infection. I go to
the doctor who just gives me antibiotics.
Last year after suffering for 4 months
they sent me to an ent for allergies
testing. I don't have any allergies at
all.
This year it started out as a sinus
infection. I would cough alot, get
headache's all the time, my nose would
bleed and have alot of drainage. I
started getting sharp pains inside my ear
and when I went to the doctor they said
that the infection has backed up into my
ear and that my ear drum has ruptured. I
can no longer hear out of my left ear at
all. They said it would heal on it's own
and gave me another prescription for
antibiotics. I feel sick all the time
because of the drainage. I went back to
my doctor 3 times in a week and all they
do is give me another prescription for
antibiotics. Nothing seems to help. I'm
going to see an ent doctor on tuesday, but
I was wondering if anyone could help me be
able to explain to the ent doctor what is
going on. Any advise or information would
really be appreciated.
