11 weeks of illness

[foreversunshine]

Hello, I am normally very healthy and active, eat well and exercise almost daily.  Eleven weeks ago I developed a bad cough, had dripping from nose, and sneezing.  Initially, I thought it was allergies and I ignored it staying active.  Then the symptoms worsened, coughing up mucus, sore throat, and I have been extremely fatigued, at times with pounding heart and at times irregular heartbeat.  My middle ear is filled with fluid and my hearing impaired.  I visited the doctor at week seven.  She just said I didn't have the flu and suggested over the counter meds for the cough and congestion.  I cannot take the meds she suggested as they cause anxiety.  I have been taking vit C, eating raw garlic, and some other things that have been suggested to me.  I am resting a lot and drinking fluids.  Nothing helps.  I am as ill today as eleven weeks ago.  HELP

wondering if you could be allergic to something,I doubt if its anxiety they always like to say that

Can you go directly to an EENT specialist for a check up? It might be something more than a flu. 11 weeks are too long for someone not to recover from flu. An EENT would be your best option at this stage.
