What Causes Occlusion Behind My Ear Drum?
Hi, I was diagnosed with an occlusion behind my right ear drum yesterday morning. I started cypro drops for an ear infection on Thursday afternoon, and the doctor I saw yesterday said I could continue using them, although they might not help the occlusion. This morning after using the drops, my ear is blocked even more and I have some facial numbness on my right side.
