Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Left Ear, Jaw And Throat

Two weeks ago my left ear , jaw and throat was hurting, I had a hard Tim biting down. My doctor said it was swimmers ear and gave meneomycin-polymyxin-hc ear susp
The pain went away but I noticed my ear has been feeling plugged for almost two weeks now. Went back to Drs and they said try prednisone 20 mg t tablets for five days. They couldn't see anything and thought maybe way in the canal there might be inflammation. Last night I thought my ear was a little better but woke up this morning with it more clogged. Please help

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain clogging of ears after having ear infection seems to be most probably due to fluid accumulation behind the eardrum and blocked eustachian tube..
It can also occur after a bout of cold as the ear and throat are connected via Eustachian tube ..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI, otoscopy etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics, oral as well as nasal decongestants likeXylometazoline nasal sprays.
Along with it steam inhalation and chewing chewing gum can help..
In case of no improvement in 15 days surgical drainage by making a small incision through the eardrum can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
