Ear Infection

I woke up with a really, really bad ear infection. It started with a minor infection last weekend and I went to a clinic near my house. It's one of the well established clinics with many branches across metropolitan. Unfortunately, the doctor said it was nothing and gave me a very, very tiny dose of ear drops and some anti-biotic to consume.

The ear drop finished with just 3 applications. I'm not the anti-biotic taker so I didn't finish the course. However, each day my ear is more swollen and painful. Until last night I could hardly sleep because of the loud noise in my ear. I decided to see my panel clinic at my office area.

The doctor said my ear is clog and there was white discharge in my ear. I informed her that each time I clean my ear, there's bleeding and she said it's due to the discharge and infection. With the clog, she can't see my ear drum and gave me ear drops and anti-biotic to be taken for a week. She wants a follow up check after that.

I told SB about it and he said better to consult my regular doctor for safety reason. He said it sound serious and want me to make sure my ear is ok. I think I better listen to his advice because it's really not nice to have a loud sound 24/7 in my ear. So after work, we will be going to the clinic on the way home. I better make an appointment so I don't have to wait too long. Pity SB...he will have to wait for me before he can have dinner.
