Pressure, Clogging And Popping In Ears. Just Came Off Middle Ear Infection, Tried Cipro, Amoxicilon. Relief ?

I had an middle ear infection in both ears since the beginning of April of this year. its now the ending of July. In the beginning i started to get a cold llike i normally do in the winter or in spring, which i know is normal for everyone. months later i got sick again with bronchitis(april) i went to the hospital and they gave a steroid(prednislone) and it cleared it up, but i was left with an middle ear-infection. for the past 4 months. in both ears. when i went to the hospital for the bronchitis, they also noticed the ear problem but at the time it wasnt that bad. month 2 everything got worse. as of right now, i feel like my ears are going to explode from pressure, clogginess, popping, expecially feeling left out because of a siniphicant amout of hearing loss, ect...during this process my primary care doctor gave me amoxicilon 175 mgs. didn't work. then 800 mgs. still didn't work. then last but not least my ENT doctor gave methylprednislone and that also didnt work even Cipiro ear drops didnt work. throughout all months ive had allergie meds. loatadine and flonase no help at all.......What do i do?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

With repeated cold and bronchitis and relieved after using prednisone suggest that you are suffering from allergic disorder. Your ear symptoms also suggest more towards serour otitis media with fluid in middle ear. Take anti histamine with antibiotic and also take enzeme preparation. Take steam inhalation 3-4 times a day and keep chewing something to open eustatian tube to maintain pressure in middle ear. If very painful miringotomy can be done. Get done once complete hemogram, AEC count and spirometry to diagnose the pathology. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Get back with the reports and feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
