I’ve been unwell for over a week now, started as the usual sore throat, then a cough, but then became severe congestion. I had so much pressure in my left ear until Friday evening when I heard a series of popping and then fluid poured out. I went to the urgent care centre over the weekend and I’ve been given a course of antibiotics for a week. GP said I have a small hole in my very sore ear drum.
I’m just feeling so down, the ringing, pressure and muffled sound is still there. I have been steaming, and doing lymphatic drainage massages but it’s just not letting up. I know it’s only been a couple of days since I started the antibiotics but I have a newborn and I’m not getting any sleep, so this is actual torture on top of that!
Can anyone recommend anything that may help clear the congestion or is it just a matter of letting the antibiotics take their course?
