Suggest Treatment For Ear Pain And Vertigo After Treated Ear Infection
Hello, I have been diagnosed with a double ear infection. (These have been chronic, for 6 months) I have been on antibiotics for 8 days now, and the pain and vertigo have not improved AT ALL. I now have pain from my ear spreading to the outer corners of my eye, and my jaw, and behind my ear. (This is all on the left side, which was the worse of the two infected ears). I also have extreme pain in the left glands at the base of my jawline. Any words of wisdom on this?

Hello,
It is possible that along with ear infection also having periodontitis or sinusitis or optic neuritis or TM joint arthritis or rhinitis etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day for five days. Use tablet lecope-AD for five days. If symptoms have not improved, please consult with your ENT specialist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
