Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve had strep throat for the past couple of days and yesterday my ear popped really loud with pain. Now my hearing is muffled in that ear with ringing and pain when I push down my tragus. What in the world could this be? Do I need to go to the doctor?
Hello dear I understand your concern Your ear symptoms could be due to eustachian tube dysfunction, midde ear infection. Throat and ear connect through eustachian tube, so infection easily transfer from the throat to ear or eustatchian tube. I would suggest to consult the ENT specialist and undergo throat and ear examination and throat swab test to confirm the infection. Doctor will prescribe following medicines: Tablet Clavam-625, Tablet Hifenac-P, tablet monti-FX, tablet containing propylhexedrine Proper bed rest, Drink give lukewarm water, steam inhalation and use humidifier Do gargle with betadine ointment 2-3 times per day Hope this may help you
Best regards Dr. SAGAR
