Suggest Treatment For Hearing Loss And Mastoiditis

For the past 15 months I had swollen glands, sore throats. several ear infections, several sinus infections. I have been on 13 antibotics in 15 months. I have complained of my ear hurting and it feels like I have something stuck in the back of my throat. Been seeing an ENT doc for 5 months. He check my hearing. I have hearing loss in the right ear and he ordered a CT Scan. I have mastioids. What should be the next step

Hi,

Multiple infections for more than a year. You need to get investigated further to find out the cause for the same. Since CT scan shows mastoiditis, you may require surgical intervention like mastoidectomy. Please also consider asking your doctor for a diagnostic nasal endoscopy to look for any sinus infections or polyps.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
