Suggest Treatment For Ear Infection
About a month ago I had a sinus infection that went to my right ear, causing my eardrum to rupture and that resulted in an ear infection. I was partially deaf in my right ear for quite sometime, but was given amoxicillin and an ear drop antibiotic. After using both for their perscribed time my hearing got better, but I still could still tell I was deafened in my right ear. A month later now, Im feeling fullness and deafness in my right ear again. No drainage, and Im still coughing/stuffed up from sinuses. I also do not have health insurance and cannot keep running to the hospital at $350 a visit for them to fail over and over.
