Ear Fullness and Retracted Tympanic memb
On 11 Feb, I had a severe cough and a cold. My right ear felt so congested and fullness .
I went to ENT specialists, she said you don't have impacted wax, it's just retracted TM .
She prescribed me Augmentin for 7 days, otrivin nasal decongestant, montair FX, betadine gargle and steam .
But nothing seemed to be helping.
I am still having the same Fullness, it has subsided a little though.
But sometimes it feels so heavy on the right ear

It takes a little longer time if fluid fills behind the ear drum. Get it checked again. You may require treatment for a longer duration. Keep taking steam twice or thrice a day.

Retracted drum takes time to get back to normal. Continue steam inhalation and valsalva manoeuvre three times a day, and consider getting audiometry done to assess hearing
Next Steps
Continue steam inhalation: consider hearing test
