Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery - Pediatric

ENT: If you aren't getting better you should see your gp back, you likely need a referral to an ENT as an adult doesn't tend to get severe ear infections and drainage- you could have other things going on like a ruptured ear drum, cholesteatoma or fungal ear infection. Some of these possibilities can put your health and hearing and balance at risk if not appropriately treated.
