A member asked:
What may be causing my recurrent middle ear infection. had 11 in the last year. been on antibiotics and had out drained but it still keeps coming back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an ENT doctor: You may have some form of obstruction to the eustacian tube which leads from middle ear to back of throat, may have a chronic focus of infection which has not been eradicated and recurs regularly, or other issues may be present. You need to be thoroughly and thoughtfully examined and diagnosed. Good luck.
