Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Blocked Ear, Ringing Sound. Prescribed Augmentin, Nafarin, Taking Supamen Post Heart Surgery. Safe To Take Medications?
Right now, my right ear is blocked. It has been like that for 2 days. I can hear a faint ringing sound and just a while ago some echoing when I spoke. I went to an ENT a while ago and he found no earwax nor any other obstruction so I was prescribed 675mg of Augmentin(2x a day) and Nafarin A (3x a day). I mentioned to him that I was already taking 500mg of Supamen each day since I had heart surgery last year. Is it safe to take all these meds together? It s too late at night now to call my cardiologist and ask about whether I should skip the Sumapen for tonight.
Hi Frig,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic!
You can take these medicines but if you are a bit hypertensive also then you should measure the BP regularly because Nafarin can cause a shooting up in BP.
Augmentin is of the same group as Sumapen and is more potent antibiotic so you can avoid sumapen till you are on Augmentin.
Also sleep in a posture with the blocked ear up.
I hope the advise would be helpful for you.
