I feel that I am prone to painful ear infections a several times a year.
Last weekend I felt my teeth and mouth hurting and I thought "oh great
a toothache!" Then by Monday I knew it was my right ear bothering me.
By Wed I went to the emergency room because it's closer to home and
I borrowed my son's sports car to drive as mine is in the shop getting
repairs. Well the treatment that I got from the doctor and his assist.
is "this is not an emergency and you need to reach your private doctor."
I got a prescribtion for ear drops and a strange pain medicine (if you suffer
heart attacts or failure do not take) along with a note saying if I get
worse to call this doctor back. By Thurs I called my E, N, T specialist
an hour away and asked if I can walk in instead of appointment because
I didn't know what time my car would be ready. Very nice and professional
"yes you can come in anytime before 3:30 as the doctor is leaving for the
day after this time." OK, got my car and headed straight for his office.
He put in a drain, gave me a shot in my hip, pain medicine - Loratabs, stronger ear drops and antibodics which I didnt get from the ER.
He said the ear drops were not strong enough to handle my infection.
Plus a follow-up appt next week.
Have anyone you used the white vingear and alcohol mixture?
Do you think the ear molds prevent complete dry out after a shower?
Is it common for HOH people to get ear infections offen?
