Avatar n tn The doctor said that nicotine is highly toxic to the ear drums and that my child did indeed have an ear infection,so she prescribed a low dose of anti-biotics.My mother simply does not believe that she could hurt my child unless she actually smokes around her.Which I and my husband both know simply isnt true.
Avatar n tn Hi , I have a 5 year old daughter who has been suffering dizziness spells for two weeks. She has been diagnosed with a middle ear infection but the E-N-T is not sure if that is what is causing the dizzy spells. A neurologist despite a clear EEG has reccomended epilex and a diagnosis of acute paroxysmal vertigo . A second doctor has asked us to put her on stugeron 25 mg/ day -- We have started the stugeron but not the epilex --however her symptoms persist .Very confused what should we do ?
Avatar f tn Thanks, good to hear that my symptoms aren't related to hiv. I was recently diagnosed with genital herpes...never had any vaginal sores - married 15 years/unhappily. Apparently, my husband knew and assumed that I knew as well. What brought all this out was that I had an affair with a man which I knew and we had unprotected sex. Well I guess the stress from cheating along with everything else caused me to have an outbreak (still no sores) which I never had.
Avatar f tn I did have a day where my ears were bothering me. After my symptoms left I was left with my left ear feeling like pressure .I would tug on the ear lobe and feel better. But now I feel like my lymph node is swollen.
Avatar n tn Hi, A lump behind the ear in children could be due to throat infection, insect bite, accidental trauma to the site, ear infection , etc. Lymph nodes in the region are known as post auricular lymph nodes and can enlarge secondary to infection, inflammation, etc. You could try some warm compresses at the site, warm saline gargles for his sore throat and some oral antihistamine medications for the swelling. Does he have any other symptoms of fever, etc?

Avatar n tn even if it was just an ongoing infection, I think to keep having them constantly, plus your painful symptoms, and your eye symptoms, this all suggests you need a scan, to look for possibly more tumors. By the way, whenever you finish up a round of antibiotics, drink some Acidophilus milk for about a week, it will help restore the normal "good" bacteria in the body that helps fight off the "bad" bacteria. See, the antibiotics kills ALL the bacteria.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a bacterial ear infection in Nov 2011 which the Dr said had spread to my throat, and was given a seven day course of cephalexin (keflex). The throat instantly felt better but the ear infection appeared to spread from the left ear to my right ear (fullness, popping, pain). I was prescribed a five day course of Zithromax over the phone which seemed to help, the ears drained fluid and no longer felt full but I still had pain behind my left ear and popping in both ears.
Avatar n tn About 10 days ago I began to have ringing in my right ear accompanied by cold sweats and slight vertigo. I seen my doctor and she said my ear looked fine, no infection or wax build up at all. A few day later another strange symptom occurred, it was suddenly very painful to hear common sounds like the water running; the sound of water hitting the shower floor; people talking, ect... I went back to my doctor and she was stumped because I still had no infection in my ears.
6985828 tn?1386742571 The cause could be an inner ear problem if your symptom of loss of hearing is accompanied with tinnitus and dizziness. It could also be due to a middle ear infection. The other common causes for loss of hearing are cerumen (ear wax) impaction and otitis externa. You will need to consult your primary care physician for further evaluation, who may then refer you to an ENT specialist.
Avatar n tn I think the flight may have aggravated it as you said,I also have symptoms of an inner ear infection such as ringing in the rings. Also sometimes my ears feel as if they are underwater and my hearing fluctuates. Are any of these symptoms related to vertigo?
Avatar n tn I have what I believe to be a sinus infection. Symptoms: headache, sore throat, cough, congestion in my nose, head, and ears. After maybe a week of this infection, I decided to get some meds to make me feel better and cure me. The next night I started experiencing some extreme ear pain in only one of my ears. Still coughing, I started experiencing a ringing and some hearing loss in that ear every time I coughed. I tried ear drops, but it only seemed to get worse. I eventually fell asleep.
Avatar f tn It could be an inter ear infection but most of the time ear infections come with a fever. I would call her doctor. Also it could be her teeth coming in.
Avatar m tn about 4 weeks ago i had a swollen gland a very sore ear and gum. i went to my gp and was diagnosed with an ear infection and given a weeks worth of antbiotics. after finishing these a few days later i started to get dizziness like vertigo and severe neck pain that has now been going on for about two weeks, along with what i can only describe as pressure in my head and ears, although the vertigo feeling is not as bad as it was.
Avatar f tn Sounds like you have some virus, and with the stabbing ear, this could be an ear infection or congestion in the Eustachian tube. A doctor's appointment would have been in order with pain in the ear. The doctor would have examined the ear to see if there was an infection and prescribed antibacterial ear drops. Sometimes a build up of wax can press on the ear canal, especially if you have been poking about.
Avatar n tn t better went back to dr 2nd visit had ear infection different antibiotic prescribed better for about a week after taking all antibiotic then sick again went back to dr said ear infection in one ear still conjested runny nose eye junk and three days left of antibiotics
