What should I do when taking medicine to treat otitis media?

Ask
Hello doctor! At first, I had a cold and cough, after a few days, the disease improved, but it changed to tinnitus. I went to many hospitals, the doctors all told me I had otitis media, gave me medicine to take, but after many days of taking the medicine, I did not see a good condition.
In fact, my ear infection has no symptoms of pain, itching, but it just ticks in the ear, there are no uncomfortable symptoms caused by ear infections. So in this case what should I do? Thanks for the advice doctor!

Hello, thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System, with your question, I would like to answer as follows: According to your description, it is possible you are having tinnitus but no ear pain no watery ears. The disease appears after 1 episode of nasopharyngitis, it is likely that you have otitis media with fluid retention in the ear cavity (otitis media without perforation of the eardrum).
If in case you have used drugs but do not improve your condition, you should see an Ear - Nose - Throat specialist to determine the exact stage and extent of the disease. From there, consider continuing medical treatment or combining surgical intervention. Wish you all the best!
