Mastoiditis? Ozone therapy?
So a recent visit to the Er revealed suppurations in my right ear which the computer spit out as mastoiditis in the print up, from the indication from the ct scan that showed suppuration. My GP said he didn’t think I had anything other than an ear infection, so I started the
Antibiotic drops they gave me at the ER, then paid to go to a naturopath who requested all Er notes and imaging they they did (ct scan, chest X-ray, blood test ) she reviewed everything but didn’t tell me that it looked like mastoiditis and if the ear drops cleared things up I’d be fine. She gave me BCQ to take with the ear drops and quercetin for a daily maintenance to help keep things dry. The ear drops helped with the discharge and I can hear better. But I still feel it did not quite get everything. She did an ozone sufflation which I’m not sure was done long enough, it was one time. I’m really trying to find a way out of this without undergoing surgery. Is there anything that can knock this infection out completely so I don’t need surgery. I live in Hawaii and there’s only one ENT and she’s a plastic surgeon for the most part and is really keen on surgery. I had a radical mastoidectomy in my left ear 32 years ago and it has always been a problem and I’m not if I even needed it at first but being in state medical insurance it took so long to approve surgery the infection worsened. Anyway my right ear is the one having issues. I have another consult with my ND to talk to her about what she reviewed and having read a thread on here about ozone therapy I thought maybe that would be worth a try. Any help on figuring out a way to clear this infection out, would be awesome. I’ve also heard capsicum annum is another possible remedy. Thank you in advance.
