Are Ear Infection And Breathing Problems Related?
Hi, my mother is having an ear infection. There is a ringing sound sensation in her ear. She has consulted a doctor who diagnosed there is pus in her ear canal along with ear wax. He had prescribed some antibiotics along with a nasal drop. But there are no changes still. She is also suffering breathless problems. Are both these things related? What needs to be done now?
