I have been diagnosed with Bells Palsy. I believe this all began in October when my left ear didn t feel right. I went to a GP and sure enough had an ear infection. Took the antibiotics and thought I would get relief, but it still didn t feel 100% normal. Had really poor balance, dizziness and a GP put me on antibiotics again for fluid in the ear. 2 weeks go by and I am still having pain in the ear and basically feeling bad. More antibiotic and steroids were given. 2 weeks went by and I had my first Bells Palsy episode. Went to the doctor that day and was given another round of antibiotics. Another week passed and more spasms about one per day and nothing significant to leave my face drooping. Went to see a specialist for ears, nose and throat and have been given 2 rounds of antibiotics and steroids. I am showing slight improvement and can go a day or two without having a spasm. I was told this type of things takes time to heal and there is nothing wrong with my ear. (I now have significant hearing loss.) Should I be concerned? Am I getting the right treatment?
