Steroids
I have had problems with both of my ears since February of this year. I had a cold for a couple of weeks before I went on holiday and on the flight back I had extremely bad pain in both ears. I get what feels like pressure on my eardrum, which is worse if I am moving about. My GP said it was just due to my cold and gave me decongestants - they did not help so I went back and was given the same decongestants. Having the problem for 4 - 5 months now without it getting much better I decided to get a second opinion and went to see another GP who said that both of my Eustachian tubes were blocked. I have a alergy to 6 different types of grasses also Ryegrass. My GP is sure that the problem is coming from my alergy and has put me on a course of Steroids - Zamene 30mg. Rupafin antihistmine and Rhinocort nasal spray.
I have never had steriods in my life and want to know is it 'normal' to be given Steroids for this condition?
