Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERN.
Thanks for tour query .Sometimes little infection remain on infection site even after proper cleansing and after taking antibiotics that increase gradually and cause full infection again.It can also occur due to some other infection like
sinusitis through Eustachian tube and lead to temporary
hearing loss .The condition is called recurring
otitis media.
You should not ignore it ,because it has some serious complications like
meningitis (infection of layers of brain) ,infection of middle ear and permanent hearing loss.
I would suggest you to again visit ENT specialist(ear,nose ,throat),So that he/she may start treatment by prescribing antibiotic(
amoxicillin) course,perform cleansing of ear and treat infection like sinusitis if it is there.
what you can do now is give warm compresses to ear 2-3 times a day ,use ear drops containing antibiotics(if you have) and take rest.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
