Ear infection - hearing loss
Hello,
I got two ear infections last Saturday that both ruptured and was put on antibiotics. It has been a week and I just took the last of my antibiotics. Both ears feel as if they are plugged and I am having a hard time hearing like I'm under water or have earplugs in. Will this go away on its own or should I be concerned? Are there ways I can help this go away?
Thank you
You seem to have had acute suppurative otitis media which is a common type of acute Middle ear infection for which treatment was taken. After this infection many patients develop a condition known as otitis media with effusion. Usually this condition resolves on its own within few days. No specific treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
