Antibiotics and your ears

Post by Senko »

So turns out I have an acute ear infection. I was prescribed Ciproflaxcin.

Didn't think much of it until I did some research on this antibiotic... And boy did I find some serious shit.

A lot of these ototoxic antibiotics are presumed to cause potential hearing loss as well as tinnitus.

Do you guys have any input on this?

I've taken that in industrial amounts, and never had any ringing or hearing loss.

Dunno man. I have some serious issues with my stomache aswell after antibiotics... Be sure to eat some good bacteria after to speed up the recovery for ur stomache.

Ear infections usually heals without antibiotics though.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the tinnitus symptoms usually disappear once you stop using the medication.

I'd just go for it. When you research any drug you will find lists of side effects that seem worse than the disease, but in this case you should probably just ask your doctor if you're not sure what to do. Not treating it can lead to hearing loss too, so it's not like you have an option that doesn't include it...
how far do you want to go

Usually there's info regarding the side-effects and how many people per 100 or 1000 it affects.

Take care of your achilles tendons, as this antibiotic can cause inflammation of them. Sounds strange, but is no joke. When it pinchs, stop taking it and go to your doc.. :)
