Treatment of Chronic Otitis Externa!

6 episodes, 2 hospital admissions and twice weekly trips to ENT Dressings and I have found only 2 thing that go a little way towards alleviating this horrible condition - although I am still in the process of sorting it out...!

Where TAC cream is used (either on wick or by injection), the old wives remedy of 'Ip Glyp' helps alleviate inflammation and heat - particularly in the exterior part of the ear. Ask at ENT if you've never had this before.

I also found that on a recent visit to Italy, a visit to the Pharmacy (no prescription was required), 8 Euros and 48 hours later, I administered an anti bacterial, anti fungal, steriodal cream / drops found there which totally cleared up the episode, without returning to the UK!

Given this, I am planning a return visit to Europe for this purpose to get it sorted again.
