Hello everybody

Some of you may or may not know ive been suffering an ear infection lately

i made apt to doc she prescribed some anti biotics

finished the course took them as told to

didnt work....

rang doc booked another apt

prescibed special type of eardrop

went to over 7 diffrent pharmacies all saying no

1 pharmacy listened as i said ive just finished anti biotics given by my doc for my ear but they didnt work she replied im surprised they didnt give you anti biotics first i thanked her and left

got home thinking like what can i do i wont get another doc apt today

so out came google and i rang round pharmacy after pharmacy

the last pharmacy i rang had the special eardrops

had to get a cab

got home around hour ago on my own tonight

chicken n rice for dinner

my ear is starting to fesl better already making lots of diffrent sounds lol

That's a bummer, glad you were able to finally get the eardrops. I haven't had one for years but as a child I had multiple ear infections that even cause a couple of ruptured ear drums and permanent hearing loss as a result. It was no fun, hope you get better soon.

Sounds like a stressful one, thankfully you found them!!

Weird rumblings are the beginning of the end of ear infections! Hope you're feeling back to normal soon!

What a hassle, but it will be gone soon! Glad you are feeling better.

I have never had an ear infection but once had an earache and it hurt like crazy. I can't imagine and infection. Glad to hear you found the drops.

Ugh....why in God's name don't they prescribe the drops first?? My children both get ear infections sometimes. They always want to give them oral antibiotics or nothing at all instead of the ear drops which work so good! They provide relief for my kids every time right away. Hoard those drops!!!!

Ear drops work - I have kids. Doctor prescribes both at the same time. Antibiotics are there to help fight the infection but do nothing to help with the immediate pain. Sorry you had to go through that - if your ear starts ringing don't answer it.

Soberwolf

i tried normal ear drops ....nothing

doctor gave me anti biotics ..... again nothing

went back AFTER FINISHING THE COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS....he prescribed SPECIAL eardrops

had to go to 7 diffrent pharmacies and ring a load up as no one had it

finally i found 1 chemist that does

hopeful4

Yup, you have to get the Rx ones for them to work. Feel better!

Soberwolf

Btw by posting this i was trying to show what a bit of perseverance gets you

i always make the effort

was hoping this might help someone as i knoiw some ppl who have a tough time at doctors/going to doctors etc

hopeful4

I cannot even imagine how frustrated you had to be to do all that to get some eardrops! Wow! Glad you got some and hope you feel better!

I have occasional ear infections. They freakin hurt!

Something warm usually helps, but until the fluid is out it's painful.

Hope you feel better soon

You're right SW, perseverance is the answer and I'm glad you stuck with the nuisances involved in getting your ear taken care of.

Feel better soon.

I had a buddy in school who would get ear infections and the most terrible incapacitating pain from it. Hope you are feeling better soon!!!

If you have reoccurring ear problems I would request ENT consult.
