Hi,
I feel you have ear, nose and throat possibly with organism which was not cured with the antibiotics offered to you (probably staphylococcus which is notorious to cause long standing illness and spreading to ENT region). It needs to be specifically treated after culture and sensitivity test to be followed by suitable antibiotic for sufficiently long course. Please consult an ENT specialist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
