CW: Physical health (ear update; positive outcome)
Further to earlier posts here and here, we had an appointment with a high-grade nurse just over an hour ago.
She was absolutely lovely and confirmed that our right ear is inflammed with what looks like an inner and/or middle ear infection (likely otitis externa), but that it doesn't look like mastoiditis fortunately.
Not messing around at all, she prescribed us:
- 28 x flucloxacillin 500 mg capsules (1 capsule, 4 times daily)
- 5 mL ciprofloxacin / dexamethasone eardrops (4 drops, twice daily)
- 28 x naproxen 250 mg tablets (1 tablet up to 3 times daily for pain relief)
She even made sure that we understood that if the swelling and pain spreads to anywhere near the mastoid bone, we should immediately go to A&E.

Here is a health tip.
Especially if you live in the US where, I understand they shoot you in the head if you break a leg, like a horse.
If you start getting #earpain #earinfection or some kind of #ear thing that's mildly painful.
You can get these "Swimmer drops" which cost stuff all, pop one drop in. And the pain will usually go away.
It usually clears in 12 hours or less.
It's a very mild antiseptic that's designed for ear. It has saved me multiple visits to the doc over the years.
WHAT?!?
