Few days back, I went to visit my ENT specialist for the second time. Some of you may have known since mid-May, my ears suddenly became blocked and as a result, it affected part of my hearing. At first I didnt think much of it and so I let it be, hoping that it would recover by itself.
After a month of persistent swelling, I decided to visit the doctor. His initial diagnosis was pretty harmless. He told me to take medicine and it will go off in a month or two.
However it's been almost 2 months, my ear havent recovered. So I decided to pay him a second visit. This time, he did a scope on me again and realised that the problem was more serious than expected. There was swelling inside my nose. He told me there was a serious infection and if not treated properly, will spread to my eyes and cheek area. This was the reason why my hearing was affected and also the cause of my frequent migraines.
However, he couldnt determine the seriousness of the problem. So he gave me 3 months MC and told me to see him in 2 weeks time. If the infection doesnt subside, then I may have to go for surgery. I didnt know things have became so serious. Haiz.
Hopefully everything will be ok soon...
