Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.As per your query you have constant infection in ear, nose and mouth . Mouth infection can occur due to condition like canker sore . Canker sore is mucosal reaction to various things like hot and spicy food, acidic food , sea food , dental appliances and nuts . There can be other reasons also like deficiency of vitamin B12 , folic acid and some underlying disease like crohn's . Sometimes infection can spread from ear to upper respiratory track and visa versa and spread to oral cavity also or post nasal drip due to sinusitis . I would suggest you to :-
- Find out what exactly causes these ulcer like food allergens .
- Maintain proper oral hygiene and do mouthwash rinses (listrine) twice a day.
- Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide mix with equal amount of water as well as betadine .
- Do warm saline nasal rinses and apply warm compresses to external ear .
- Start multivitamin supplement specially containing vitamin B12 and folic acid .
If condition doesn't resolve in two weeks then consult oral pathologist as well as ENT specialistfor proper diagnosis . Doctor may order blood test , CT scan or biopsy . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroide ointment , antibiotics (metronidazole) or antihistamine drug .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
