Ear Block Medicine

Hi.. My ear has been blocked completely for about four years now and lately I met a doctor who prescribe an antibiotics called primpex to me.... I hope primpex would make me hear again? ## This is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Whether or not it will help depends on what has caused your hearing loss. Did the doctor give you any specific diagnosis?

My little sister has complained of her left ear "getting stuck" for many years and the doctors have always brushed it off and haven't seriously attempted diagnosis/treatment. She's now 14 and explained that its the feeling you get on an aeroplane, she says pulling her ear lobe, yawning and swallowing can help it go away. She only ever gets it in her left ear. Its frequently "stuck" when she wakes up in the morning but it can also happen if the ear is touched/moved so I think its because she moves around a lot in her sleep. She doesn't use cotton buds in the ears. Any advice? ## Hello, Dave! How is your sister doing? I'd suggest taking her to see a specialist that knows what to look for, in such case. A friend of mine was experience such issues and, as it ...

Hi,my ear is blocked and the pain is unbearable nothing is coming out of it,i went to a doctor and she told me that the tympanic membrane has ruptured and reffered me to a specialist but i cant afford it.when the pain starts the whole of my left side hurts and i get aheadache and my neck becomes stiff due to the pain,she gave me diclofenac,amoxyl and painblocks and they only help with the pain for a few hours.pls help.

Early this year I agreed to place a stent in one of the arteries the consultant said was blocked. After having done it, my condition got worse than earlier - in that I started getting tired sooner as I walked and talked, I also began to get chocked as I tried to kneel down to straighten the shoes! Then, other symptoms like mouth full of blood early in the morning, at one time blood through male-tool-tip! And so on. Saw the doctor again with the above symptoms, he said everything was fine. I had to reduce the JUSPRIN to150 instead of 300? (Why had he not told me in the beginning?) My question is that should I continue to take the four medicines he has prescribed "to continue" for life long, or should I discontinue sooner or later, which again he might have forgotten to tell me!? ...

What is this I thought it would be more detailed I cannot find it in a critical time and condition ## What do you need to know ? You can call your pharmacist or dr. ## Hello, Nandu! How are you? This medication is most commonly used to treat inner ear infections and the pain they can cause. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, itching, redness of the ear, ear drainage and a feeling of ear blockage/congestion. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have expired ear drops that are two months expired and I was wondering if I could still use them? ## Hello, Clarisa! How are you? It would be best to dispose of them and see your doctor for a new prescription, if needed. Liquids tend to degrade and go bad much faster than other formulations, so using them once expired is just a bad idea, as reported by the NIH. ## My left ear got blocked after i have taken expired ear drops which got expired 2 months ago.

I have been taking Lisinopril 40Mg daily for six months. Two months ago I began to have plugged nasel passage with no pain or pressure. The feeling I have is that my throat and nasel passage is extremely dry and it feels like I need to expel mucus from my nose, but there is none. I have been given two rounds of antibiotics, nasel spray and have tried every OTC decongestion and antihistamine, but none of these remedy my problem. Constantly trying to clear what feels like dried mucus and this does nothing but make my throat sore. Have also tried steam, nasel rinses and any home remedy to correct this. Now my ears feel plugged so I have had enough. Have any of you had this experience? Only dry caugh is when I am trying to clear my dry nasel passage. Not painful, but extremely irritating! #...

I was given Metoprolol Tarta 50 mg. and it says to take one twice a day. I didn't take that much and it made me not be able to sleep like a lot of other beta blockers do. After taking it I woke up the other day and can't hear out of my right ear at all. I heard this medication is a ototoxic and can cause hearing loss. I have an appointment with a ENT doctor day after tomorrow. Has anybody else had this problem? I am now on two other B/P meds that work good and I can sleep good. This not being able ot hear out of my right ear is getting to me. I don't know what the doctor can do to get my hearing back. Hope this isn't permanent. I would appreciate any advice concerning this. Thanks, Nora ## There have been others that reported experiencing ototoxicity from taking Metoprol...

Loss hearing in my right ear after taking Metoprolol Tarta 50 mg. Woke up in the morning and couldn't hear out of my right ear at all and still can't hear out of it. I have an appointment with a ENT doctor day after tomorrow. Has anybody else had this problem and know what can be done for it? It's driving me bonkers. Thanks, Nora ## How long were you taking it? Learn more Metoprolol details here. It's not a side effect commonly caused by this medication. It's also possible that it's due to a blockage, water in the ear, or an infection. Can you post back and let me know what the ENT says? ## I only took Metoprolol a few days. I take other medications too. I go to the ENT doctor today so I will see what he says.

MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED URBANOL 10MG FOR MY SON AND MYSELF AS WE ARE TERRIFIED OF FLYING AND HAVE A TRIP TO CAPETOWN IN A WEEKS TIME- I DID A TEST RUN 2 DAYS AGO THE DOSAGE BEING HALF A TAB 3 TIMES A DAY AND IT DID NOTHING FOR EITHER OF US. AS MY SON SUFFERS FROM SEVER STRESS AND ANXIETY I DONT WANT TO HAVE A HUGE SCENE AT THE AIRPORT. IS URBANOL THE BEST FOR THIS AND SHOULD WE INCREASE OUR DOSAGE. ## Research at the Stamford University School of Medicine found benzodiazepines blocked desensitization and increased sensitivity to flight. CBT may reduce anxiety-producing thoughts but does not stop release of stress hormones when the amygdala reacts to unfamiliar motions and noises. Anxiety about being up high, not in control, and unable to escape may be more than CBT or meds can help with. T...

I have an ear infection with a totally blocked ear. I also have some nitrofurantoin left over from a uti. Will this antibiotic help my ear infections ## Hello, Diana! How are you? You need to see your doctor to have the presence of an infection confirmed and, if you do have one, they'll need to prescribe you a full course of an appropriate antibiotic to treat it. And you should always finish the full course of any prescribed antibiotic, to avoid the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Is there anything else I can help with?

My boyfriend recently accidentally took his medicine twice. He takes 5 mg amlodipine once a day he got up early this morning took his meds and then took more 3 hours later because he forgot. Will this hurt him? ## Hi, Kim! Any time that you are worried about the health and safety of a loved one due to taking too much medication, you should immediately call poison control, or seek assistance from your nearest emergency medical treatment facility. How is he doing? Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that's used to help lower high blood pressure and treat certain cardiac conditions. In reality, taking two tablets of the 5mg dosage wouldn't be an overdose, since it is also available in that dosage, it's just more than he should be taking. What may happen though is that his b...

I have a problem with blockage in my ear. It started last week when I had the flu. My flu is sorted out now, but my left ear is still blocked. Is it ok if I use moxypen 500? ## I had a grommet fitted abou 20 years ago and i am very often getting ear infection. I get penicillin and prednicort from the chemist but doesnt cure the problem for longer than 3 months. The area around the ear stays swollen and I had a scan done but shows nothing of interest. The space above my collarbone is also swollen from the permanent swelling which was also checked out with no concern report. I do have a perforated eardrum and mostly apply a Voltaren gel drenched plug which helps a lot. The voltaren plug is only put in the ear canal not direct to the eardrum. I tried this as I do not have medical aid and i...

I started taking Nasonex to help clear up an inner ear blockage. Within 30 minutes of taking the spaying it into both nostrils, I became completely fatigued, dizzy and disoriented. It was most noticeable as I stood up and began walking. It felt like something was wrong and I felt anxious and my heart was racing. I checked my blood pressure and blood sugar but they were both normal. I felt better the next morning. I sprayed each nostril in the morning without a noticeable side effect. So I figured that same evening it should be alright to continue. The same symptoms recurred from the previous night, and improved only slightly by bedtime. I slept well, but still feel some of the dizziness. Has anybody else had these side effects? ## Oh yes, I did experience this, and more, when I tried it...

"FDA urged to block generic non-tamper-proof pills": oxywatchdog.com/tag/purdue-pharma/ Go there.. Generics of old formula as early as January 2013 ## I have to wonder if the FDA even realizes that their medications are killing people off left and right at the patients own expense. Doing away with tamper-proof properties can be a good thing, but this isn't going to help anyone cure anything. What ever happened to the natural remedies that have been around for over 3000 years? I guess they still can't figure out how to tax people & make money off of mother nature, so here we go again with a new batch of pain killers to help numb the feelings and switch to another addiction. Does anyone else think this is wrong?
