My 22 yr old daughter got a bad ear infection suddenly. Taking antibiotics and allergy meds. Has had hearing loss in left ear for 10 days now. Dr. Sd there is a black spot on ear drum and thickening on surface of eardrum . Was sure if it would clear up with allergy meds. Sd she might have permanent hearing loss. That really concerns her and me. Any suggestions/opinions?

Hello,
Her situation is going to improve if it is related to an allergic reaction, with her current medication. In case she does not improve, I recommend consulting with her ENT for a physical exam and a head CT scan, coupled with blood lab tests for infection.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
