Suggest Treatment For Ear Pain
I've had earache for 4 weeks now after a holiday, had 3 lots of antibiotics. Been up to ENT and have slight loss of hearing in that ear too. They want to give me a nasendoscopy, what are they expecting to find/ illiminate by doing this? Also can this be done sedated? I don't think I can go through with this if not, I'm so scared. I'm panicky & get very claustrophobic
