Diminished hearing

2018-01-17 18:29:50
I went to the doctors with ear pain after a sore throat. After examination they told me I had inflamed ear drums and perscribed me some ear drops. I finished the course but my hearing has been severely diminished. I went back and they said my ears were clear and to leave it a few days. I’m worried now that my hearing is damaged please help

You seem to be suffering from otitis media with effusion secondary to acute otitis media which you had earlier. It is a common condition and usually resolves on its own within few days. You may need to undergo detailed audiological evaluation if your symptoms are persistent even after few weeks
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
