I've had the senation that my left ear is blocked since last August. I am suffering with earache and pain either in the ear itself or infront or behind the ear. Also getting really bad headaches now and again on that left side behind my ear which radiates to my forhead. I can feel two lumps behing my ear and one in front which I presume to be glands.
I saw my gp a few months ago and he provided a nasal spary diagnosing fluid behing the eardrum (I do not have a problem with earwax). Didin't do the job and so I called him after another few weeks and he prescribed nasal drops a couple of months ago and it still hasn't cleared up. I was advised that if it was viral it could take quite a long time to clear up.
What can I do next? As I am sitting hear typing I'm close to tears, the pain in the side of my head at the moment is so bad and I've literally had enough, it has been going on too long! [feeling completely and utterly sorry for myself]
