Suggest Better Treatment For Ear Infection
I have been seeing an ENT speacialist for months now.....but nothing he has perscribed has worked. I have congestion in my ears,(eustacian tubes not draining?) which is causing vertigo, headaches and insomnia - from constant ringing and throbbing in the ears. The ENT currently has me back on triamterene tablets for the next 60 days. We tried this a few months ago....for 30 days.... and it did not work. Then he inserted tubes in my ears..... which also failed to help. He is telling me I am out of options if the current treatment does not work????
Any suggestions?

hi
don't worry about grommet (tubes) inserted in ur ears .
they will surely help u .
they will drain the fluids in ur ear and keep ur middle ear aerated .
they will automatically fell down after few months
and ur ear heals.
next option is Eustachian tuboplasty.
that's very rarely indicated
