Had Mastoidectomy Done. Experiencing Severe Pain In Ear. How To Get Relief?

Thanks for writing to H.C.M. for your query.
I have gone through your query regaring excruciating pain in your left ear which had already been operated for mastoidectomy operation about 6 years bcck.
The possibilities of such a severe pain in your left ear which had been operated 6 years back are as under-
(a) Furunculosis in external ear.
(b) Fungal infection (Otomycosis) in ear.
(c) Acute otitis media due to cold or sore throat.
(d) If previously it had been operated for cholesteatoma, than recurrence of same may be there.
Actual picture will be clear after examination but till you are waiting for your ENT doctor, in the meanwhile as an emergency you may take -
(a) Antibiotic.
(b) Analgesic & anti inflammatory.
(c) Decongestant and steam inhalation.
I hope this will help you.
Regards.


Thanks for reconsultation.
Madam
The character of pain as you are telling is appears to be deep seated and there may be possibility of Mastioditis again or if it is cholesteatoma than associated abscess may be there. In such condition antibiotic AMOXICILLIN (500 mg) thrice a day will help you.
Regards.


Thanks for recalling.
Madam.
You may take this antibiotic.
Regards.
