possible perforated eardrum

[Guest guest]

My symptoms began on March 3rd. They began as burning ears, burning

throat, burning vagina, couldn't hear, slight vomiting, no energy. I

did not want to even eat.

 

I took some aconite 30, because that is all we had. I did saunas to

help me sweat thinking that might help, but I was so fatigued I

dreaded those, they just made me more tired. I would sit down in the

shower afterwards and literally fall asleep. My diet consisted of

lots of kitcheree, and lots of hot lemon juice with water. I gargled

with warm salt water, did the neti pot with pinch of turmeric and

salt (which did not have any effect, usually it does!)

 

I went to the doctor to get it diagnosed (on the 17th), and at the

time I could not hear much of anything. Apparently there was a

bilateral ear infection and the eardrum was visible. They put me on

antibiotics, and eardrops that were also antibiotics (which burned

like crazy most of the time used). Then after 10 days on antibiotics

my energy was back,the burning throat gone , burning vagina gone ( I

douched with yogurt two times), and the thumping sound in my head was

mostly gone.

 

Since I wasn't 100% back yet I tried putting onion drops in the ear,

again it was painful, not all the time , but most of the time. After

about 5 days of onion juice, and taking goldenseal and chapperal

internally 1 capsule. My right ear started having a black discharge.

It would be on the cottonball I have in my ear. My left ear still

thumps but not as intense as before.

 

I went to the doctor to find out what the black stuff coming out of

my ear was, but the nurse-pratitioner(turns out she wasn't a

doctor!), didn't know and had never seen anything like it. The canal

was full of liquid and she could not see the right eardrum. She

commented on the right ear having wax. Then she gave me 4 antibiotics

to take , and Monday if not better, than she wants me to see an Eye,

ear nose throat specialist.

 

My hearing is better, but still not normal. My r ear feels extremely

sensitive, which is why I think it may be perforated. I put Pascalite

Calcium-bentonite (montmorillonite) clay

poweder mixed with lobelia essence as a plaster behind my ears last

night, and this morning when I gagged I could feel some releasing of

the left ear down my throat.

Also when the discharge began I stopped putting the onion juice in

the ear.

 

 

How do you heal a perforated eardrum ?

I wrote my symptoms to what may have possibly, key word possibly, be

a possible' perforated eardrum.

 

Upon exam today by Eye, ear,nose, throat specialist it was a fungus,

aspergillus bad infestation, that created the otitis media

situation. The doctor suctioned the fluid out of the ear, and had to

dry out the ear to see what was going on. It was not painful for the

most part, and soothing, and I could hear better afterwards.

 

 

He suggested 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 alcohol (rubbing). The vinegar kills

the fungus, and the alcohol dries it out. The medicines he

recommended were not readily available so this is till they arrive.

 

Apparently it needs a warm moist climate to proliferate, and my ear

became lunch for a 'limited' time. Stress is probably what brought it

on.

 

 

What would the Ayurvedic treatment be for a fungus and otitis media

condition in the ear?
