What To Be Done If Fluid Is Been Left After Infection In Ear ?

Hi I hope you can help! I have had glue ear since I was a child. Recently I have been suffering really bad with it due to sinusitis which caused an ear infection. Now the ear infection has gone I stil have a lot of bubbling fluid behind the ear drum! I may not be able to have any more gromits because of scar tissue, Is there anything else they can do to help? Thank you

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of fluid left over after infection in ear which is due to eustachian tube dysfunction. It leads to creation of negative pressure inside ears. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures and along with that you should take antiallergic medication such as Levocetirizine and proper course of antibiotic such as Amoxicillin to suppress infection. Avoid intake of cold beverages and spicy, sharp and oily food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for otoscopic examination and get audimetery testing as well and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should not prick ear with any sharp object. Put Otogesic ear drops.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
