since having gastrointestinal surgery in January and getting out of the hospital, I have experienced pain and tenderness mainly on the right side to top of head behind the eye and serious ear pain in right ear -- the nurse practitioner has said there s fluid around the right eardrum and I finally have been referred to an ENT, but I fear my problems (I have been given several courses of a sulfa type pill and just ended the most recent one this morning, which seemed to have lessened the syndrome on previous occasions) are related to infection incurred during my hospitalization.
Hello, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an inner ear infection, especially considering the fact that there is fluid around your right ear Chat Doctor.  For this reason, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist for a physical exam. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
