Question

I was wondering if anyone knew why I keep getting ear infections?....I get one in one ear then when It goes away I get one in the other. The Dr. wont give me antibiotics because he says Iam immune and they wont help. Can I prevent them or in my case make one go away?......PLEASE HELP IT HURTS!!

THANK YOU TO ALL THAT TAKE THE TIME TO ANSWER.......IAM MISERABLE!!!

Answer 1

Usually an ear infection is due to fluid behind the ear drum that isn't draining properly. Go to a ENT specialist. It could be allergies- take a decongestant at the recommended doseage for a week because the pain will subside. If it isn't allergies, then your ear drum may not be releasing the fluid; in this case, you may need to get PEG tubes in your ears. Bottomline: if you are not happy with one doctor's opinion, go to another.

Answer 2

I was mis diagnosed for years and given antibiotics and antibiotics and got migraines and more ear infections. Finally I saw a holistic chiropractor and found it was a yeast infection in my head... diet cleared it up and have not gotten one in five years.

if it is infection and they took a culture, you must take antibiotics.

if he says no and does not do culture, get new doc

go to ER

check with nutritionist or other doctor you may have yeast chronic infections...... the diet is a *****... write me if you want it.....

IF THERE IS INFECTION, YOU MUST BE ON ANTIBIOTIC... GO TO ER..........

then go see why when this is over...... the diet consists of no sugar, no wheat, no fruit, no nothing almost to kill the yeast.......

first find out if active infection, then you must need antibiotic and can sue this doc who is saying no........

tylenol, warm packs on ears...... drops of peroxide in ears.

Answer 3

tell your Dr. that you are not immune to all antibiotics. If i am not mistaken, chronic ear infections could have something to do with the hormones.
