Good afternoon, i have had an ear infection for 4 months, i have seen two different doctors, i did a course of anti-biotics, and sinucon. the condition has not cleared up, there is still fluid draining from my ears. could it be blocked eustachian tub?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Ent: If it has been draining and is an ear infection then likely either otitis externa or ruptured ear drum.If on several antibiotics without clearing needs to be cultured and ask for a referral to ENT doctor.if on several antibiotics and not cleared,may not be even bacterial and may be fungal.

I was told I have eustachian dysfunction in my right ear. I was given oral steroids but it still feels blocked and as though I lost some hearing in it. Should I go back to the doctor? Ive also been having pressure in my head, could they be related?
