Hello Doctor,
I’ve had tinnitus and occasional pain in my right ear, along with about 30% hearing loss. A while ago, I had blood discharge from that ear, possibly from swimming in dirty water. I've tried Dobrox and a nasal spray, but they didn’t help. What should I do next?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Keep the ear dry: Avoid water exposure to your ear to prevent irritation.
2. Avoid ear instruments: Do not use ear buds or other objects to clean your ears.
3. Get an HRCT scan: A High-Resolution CT of the temporal bones will help diagnose any underlying issues.
Please consult an ENT specialist for a thorough examination and next steps.
Thanks
