Hi all,
I have had problems with a blocked ear (a feeling of pressure) and bad tinnitus for about 2 months now, it's gradually got worse and worse. When I first went to the doctor about it they looked in my ear and noticed the eardrum was inflamed and there was a big build up of skin.
I was given Otomize (an antibiotic spray) which didn't really work and was then given Amoxicillin which helped with the pressure/blockage (didn't get rid of it) but the tinnitus stayed and arguably got worse. A few week after the Antibiotic tablets the pressure seems to be coming back.
I've been referred to an ENT but will probably pay to have it expedited. I'm so scared this could be a Cholesteatoma. What are the chances?
