Hello,
As you have this problem for eight months. We have to evaluate the problem. I think it may be otitis media or inner ear infection. You have to take tablet Amox clav and tablet aceclofenac, Otobiotic ear drop. Keep your ear clean. Do steam inhalation. You may require examination by autoscope. I will suggest you review here with detailed history or consult with ENT surgeon with reports for detailed examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
