Hello,

As per my clinical experience, there can be various reasons for persistent heaviness in the ear as
- Middle ear infection as otitis media
- Conduction defect
- Sensory disturbances
- Issues with fine balance at cochlear apparatus
- Vestibular problems

My recommendations at present:
- Prescription of antibiotic drops with Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin
- Anti-inflammatory medications as Diclofenac or Ibuprofen
- Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid or others with possible coverage of gram positive and negative bugs
- Discuss the need of hearing test, audiometry with or without MRI with your doctor during planned visit

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
