I had an ear drum repair surgery about four months ago. Now it seems like the same ear is getting infected again. What should I be doing?

Contact your ENT physician for evaluation and treatment. Angela R. Sieh Ceretto, M.A., CCC-A, FAAA Audiologist Pinnacle Audiology, LLC 6809 S. Minnesota Ave., Suite 101 605-306-4481
Definitely return to your ear nose and throat physician at your earliest convenience!
More than 90 percent of patients recover from tympanoplasty (eardrum surgery) with no complications. We’re sorry that you’re finding yourself in the 10%. However, there are risks involved with any type of surgery. Tympanoplasty risks can include bleeding, infection at the surgery site, and allergic reactions to medications and anesthesia given during the procedure. Please contact the surgeon for more information, as they know your case better than anyone.
