What Causes Itchiness And Burning Sensation In The Ear Despite Having Pseudomonas Infection ?

I have had ear trouble for over 20 years, going to lots of specialist and no one has been able to help me. I was hospitalized once and give IV antibiotics, a culture was done and it was pseudomonas . I still have issues, it never goes away, and between outbreaks (which is occurring presently) my ears burn, severely itch, peel, drain, raw and Re beginning to smell. I do not get much sleep at night , at night it gets worse. My canal swells, my ears are even feverish....please help, I do not know what to do at this point. I have tried different RX creams and drop.....I m desperate

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms are in relation with recurrent Pseudomonas infection of the inner or middle ear cavity most likely. The underlying cause can be of various reasons as:
- Drug resistant strains (not cured as per culture reports)
- Tympanic membrane perforation (most common cause)
- Recurrent wax collection with secondary nidus of infection
- Epithelial cell shedding
- Low immunity from immune deficiency states
- Diabetes
- HIV or other grave issues

Kindly provide me all data of CT scan, otoscopy, culture swab and lab data during further management in your case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
