How To Cure Ear Infection Leading To Loss Of Hearing In Left Side ?

Few weeks aago, I was diagnosed with severe ear infection. Lost of my hearing in left ear, finally afetr few treatments with antibiotics and prednizone cleared up. However, since then I have been having this banging and ringing in my ears. It is very dificult to go to sleep because it intensifies when I am lying down. Is this related to the ear infection, that maybe did not clear well? Also I have been experiencing green mucus from my nose and pain around my eyes and face, sinus infection? is this something serious, can it be TMJ? thyroid problems? Please help! Jeannette

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Green mucus discharge could be from pseudomonas like infection and usual antibiotic might not effective in that

Here sinusitis also has to be ruled out..

You should consult otorhinolaryngologist for Otoscopy ear examination and rhinoscopy nose examination and PNS x ray...
CBC Also should be done...

If congestion present than benadryl like decongestant prescribed

If needed culture done from discharge and according to infecting organism drug prescribed

Steam inhalation done three times a day that is beneficial

Take care

Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination

Hope your concern solved
