Suggest Treatment For Fluid In Ears
Question: I have been to the Dr.2 times in 9 days for fluid in my ears .I am taking second round of steroids ,antivert,and fluid pill still not much better .Can you help?
Brief Answer:
Eardrum exam, Tympanogram (Impedance Audiogram). Medication as detailed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. You need to get your ears examined. In addition you should get a prescription for an anti-allergic mucolytic, local nasal decongestant drops and steam inhalation.
2. There is a simple test known as an Impedance Audiometry. The recorded graph is known as a Tympanogram. This will accurately reveal if there is a fluid build-up in your ears.
3. If there is fluid build-up the ear drum examination will show a dull ear drum and a type 'B' Tympanogram.
4. Upload a Tympanogram and the eardrum examination note for further treatment advice. Meanwhile start these medications.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
