Having Swimmer S Ear, Why Do I Feel Dizzy And Pain?
I was diagnosed with Swimmers Ear 3 weeks ago. Given antibiotic drops for it. The pain has not gone away..and my ear fills full and it hurts. I used peroxide in it twice..the first time it bubbled like crazy. The second time no bubbles..but made me dizzy and now it hurts.
As per your query you have swimmer's ear along with pain and dizziness . Swimmer's ear is an infection in the outer ear canal . Swimmer's ear is also known as acute external otitis or otitis externa. The most common cause of this infection is bacteria invading the skin inside your ear canal . In some ceases like in lower immunity and when it left untreated this infection spread to further and cause further complications like pain and dizziness as happening in your case . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist again for proper checkup . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan and examine with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe sstronger antibiotics , steroid ear drops , antiemetic drug and sometimes place tubes for drainage .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
