Re: Urgent- Mastoiditis very concerned

Now I have been diagonsed with Left acute otitis media with mastoiditis. Right minimal mastoiditis.

Is it life threatining?

Not really life threatening, but it can create problems including loss of bone, loss of hearing, facial paralysis, etc.  So it is serious.

I am taking pau d arco, chappral and andrographis tinctures and the ear drops you recommend.

The problem in this case though is that mastoiditis does not always respond to antiseptics, including pharmaceutical antibiotics, since there is little blood flow to this tissue.  Thus it is hard to get the active compounds to the infection site.

James I am the person from Australia currently in India. I do have access to ozone. Is ear insuffliation good for the bone infection.

Yes, this would be my first choice.  Unlike other antiseptics ozone can readily penetrate the various tissues of the body including bone tissue.  Another advantage is that the ozone will also help to promote healing of the tissues. The ozone can be administered by ear insufflation.

I am really nervous James Please advise.

What should I do now?

I recommend doing the ear insufflation for 20-30 minutes 3 times daily.

I am really confused with my thyroid because I have Hyperthyroid symptoms.

I thought that was what you were diagnosed with and had been addressing?  Hyperthyroidism can be autoimmune, which means it can also fare up when under stress including pain.
