Brief Answer: No need to so much worry. Detailed Answer: Hi Mam, I have gone through your query. If you are correctly diagnosed and symptoms are gradually improving then there is no need to so much worry because tympanitis resolves within 15 days if properly treated. In our patients I suggests---> 1. Antibiotic amoxicillin and clavulinic acid combination. 2. Nasal decongestant. 3. Systemic decongestant. 4. Steam Inhalation five times a day. To reach the near diagnosis and exclusion of the other disease you may go for pure tone audiometry and Impedance audiometry. Hope this answers your query. If you have any doubt, I will be available for your query. Regards
