Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Infection In Ear And Headaches
I recently had my rook pierced, everything was fine the first few days; about the fifth day my ear had gotten an infected because I let me hair down. It has puss coming out of it, is swollen and also hurts. I get headaches and the infection hasn't seemed to improved, its been a week. What should I do?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swelling and infection in ear and headaches which is due to fluid accumulation behind the eardrum. It could be due to eustachian tube dysfunctioning as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated. You should go for otoscopy examination as well to find out cause and exact extent of infection. You need not get impatient. You should take antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs combination. For infection in ear antibiotic ear drops and decongestant nasal sprays can help. Draining of pus can also be done by physician. Maintain cleanliness of area.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
