I have had multiple ear infections recently,which led to fluid behind my ears. Both ears. I’m allergic to most antibiotics. I was given one type. Plus allergy medicine just in case that was the cause. Nothing has helped. Now I am having sharp pains in my ear and my jaw. All on the right side. And causing severe headaches. And I still feel fluid in my left ear.
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is advise.
If the fluid is present for 6 weeks, treatment may include a hearing test, a round of antibiotics or further observation. If the fluid is present after 12 weeks, a hearing test should be performed. If there is significant hearing loss, the health care provider may consider antibiotics or placing tubes in the ears. Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
