Two days ago, a fullness in the left ear followed by pain started for me, I've then instilled Candibiotic drops & slept. The next day, I felt my left ear to be even more fuller & diminished hearing. I've consulted an ENT specialist, underwent PTA, was told that there is a temporary hearing loss in the left ear due to inflammation or swelling in the middle ear & so was prescribed with Sinarest, Otrivin nasal drops, Predmet 8mg (steroid, for quicker recovery as told by the doctor), some acidity tablets & vitamin tablets. The steroid in the prescription has alarmed me. Doctor was brief on the details & has only diagnosed me with a head light, some pressing under both of my ears & the PTA. There is no discharge of any pus or fluids or blood except the candibiotic drops that dripped out in the last morning. To my surprise, thought I didn't start any of the prescribed medication, I felt the pain to have subsided & my hearing to have slightly improved. I am looking for asecond opinion. Pls H.
