Chronic ear infections

2018-08-20 00:05:33
I've suffered from chronic ear infections all my life. I've seen multiple GP's and ENT's but no one can figure out what's causing them. Multiple tests for diabetes have turned up normal. I also wear ear plugs when showering. I'm a 33 year old female. Medications: perindopril, amlodopine, wellbutrin, sertraline, cyclen. Surgeries: tonsillectomy and adnoidectomy as a child. Allergies: seasonal, tobacco, codfish. Non-smoker, not a drug user.

This is not at all related to past tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy. This may de due to some anatomical alteration of your ear which has made easier for infective agents to persist
