I have a what feel like a very swollen ear, immense pressure, with pricking and throbbing pains, it has now moved onto the other ear. I have watery clear and some light yellow discharge leaving my ear crusty in the morning, it has also left me almost deaf. Before this stared ive been really poorly with all my glands up and a very sore throat. I'm very stuffy and am struggling to get anything out of my nose, instead its going down my throat. The mucus that I've managed to get out has been very thick almost solid and has had bits of blood in it. My doctor has given me sofradex for my ears as he says i have an infection, I've only taken the drops 3 times so far but seems to be making me more deaf? And my throat is getting worse again and head is quite bad, can I be taking anything with the drops to help the other symptoms, I.e. Lemsips, decongestants?
