Quote from Midget:OK, so a month or go (give or take a week) I went to the doc again...my ears hurt, my sinuses hurt, my throat hurt...so he switched me to Claritin, and said it should help drain out the fluid in my ears...well, I thought it was working...as I do with all the meds I've tried...I think they are working. Then they stop working and I'm back to feeling like crap. This is really frustrating. :( Ugh. Well, now I'm back to the same problems...my ears hurt again, my throat hurts, too. What should I do? :( I'm going back to the doc, and I'm planning on switching docs...but my mom thinks we should do the allergy teasting with the current doc, and then switch. I was thinking switch to another GP, then get a referal to an allergist or something. You guys have any thoughts on any of this stuff?
Definitely get a referral to an allergist. I'd recommend getting allergy testing done with the allergist, too.
Have you tried any allergy medications with pseudoephedrine? (That's usually something like Allegra-D, Claritin-D, etc.)
