What Causes A Blocked Ear And Episodes Of Dizziness?
I have noticed that after taking penicillin, my left ear gets blocked, as if full with wax, and I cannot hear. I also have episodes of severe dizziness. I have been treated recently with penicilin for an infected salivary gland with a stone in situ, but am unsure whether this would cause problems with my eustacian tube. Any clues?
