    Ear issues fill me with doom
    I am 22 and a college student, couple
    Months ago my ears felt clogged , got the wax cleared out and one ear felt much better but the doctor said my ears were infected so I went through several rounds of antibiotics and ear drops to no avail including a "z pack" a supposed home run drug, my ears still messed up I went to an ENT and he said my jaw joints might be swollen so I took steroid pills and muscle relaxant pills he assigned and that brings me here, months after this started with my ears feeling full and hearing diminished significantly . I went to my school health center ( no big help there) and she affirmed there seemed to be nothing blocking my ear and gve me an appointment on the 6th aka hella far away. I'm desperate to hear normally and I really can't live like this. Any help?

    When my son was young I kept taking him to just one pediatric doctor who kept giving him the same antibiotic and his ears were still bothering him. After I wised up I took him elsewhere and that doctor prescribed something (wish I could remember just what it was) and his ears cleared up and he didn't have any ear problems since. Z pak is not the end all.
