A member asked:
Adult ear infection symptoms? lightheaded 3-4 weeks, balance issues, minimal ear pain sometimes, always ringing both ears, nausea, waking up at night

Middle ear effusion: This is more likely due to inflammation and allergy than an infection, but to cover both bases, I suggest an antibiotic and strong antihistamine at bedtime for 5-10 days for relief. This should be followed by skin or blood testing to find out your allergy triggers to avoid and reduce symptoms in the future
