one morning i woke up and noticed i had taken off and tried to put back on my earrings in my sleep...the earring was in correctly but the plastic/rubber back of it was in my eardrum...i tried to get it out which resulted in pushing it further down....i went to an ENT specialist here in Amman jordan and they couldnt see it....they told me it wasnt there but i can feel it and it i try i can move it and it will drain smelly liquid.....i keep getting ear infections...can it still be there and they just cant visualize it??? its now been 2 years and i really cant get the ENT dr to listen to me ???? i think the next step is a CT scan??? will this show if something is there??
Thanx dear.. i have listened all your complaints in details. First you need to go through examination of your ear through microscope which can tell detail status of your ear. i dont know whether this facility is available. Plastic rubber piece cant cause ear infection upto 2 years. what do you mean ear infection. Did you develop ear discharge or pain in ear. what is status of you hearing. you dont need to go for CT scan. Plz use folowing medicine Tab. ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily Tab. Metronidazole 400 mg twice daily Topical ciprofloxacin plus dexamethasone ear drops. aviod water entry in that ear use all medicine for 10 days
