My nose seems to have cleared up a lot more by now, I can actually breath through it again. Still feels like it burns/is pinched inside from time to time, but at least I don't feel like there is a huge piece of cement in the blocking the upper part of my nose, and I can use it to breath again. That's something.
I hope my ears will also improve, and STAY improved. I can't deal with it constantly doing: deaf, improved, deaf, improved, deaf, improved after taking the medication on and off again and repeating the same process. Isn't there some extended process that will put these problems into remission? There has got to be some solution to this, not constant temporary fixes. Tubes are also possibly a temporary fix, aren't they? That's if they don't clear up the inflammation as they are said to.... plus they were also pretty expensive when I last asked. I had no idea they would be expensive, I thought I could get them for the same as getting my ears lanced... but like I said, I'm more interested in a permanent solution.
