Have Lupus, Diagnosed With Eustachian Tube Dysfunction From A Cold , Tried Amoxicillin, Not Helped. Cure?
I am 43, I have lupus & I ve been diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction from a cold I had last November. I ve tried Amoxicillin , Azithromycin & Augmentin, which did not help. I stopped taking mycophenolate for 2 months, but it did not heal my ears. I recently went back on, unfortunately, it s making my ears worse. My health insurance is limited, I do not know what to do.
