I saw the Nurse Practitioner today because my main doctor was out today!
She determined —via a test — that I don’t have an infection with strep throat—-Yay—-but I do have fluid in my left inner ear that is causing me pain!
She recommended FLONASE NASAL SPRAY— an over the counter med / plus ample hydration/ and plus Claritin D decongestant pills—to dry up the inner ear fluids!!
