#infection
Can anyone give me some advice what to do against the pain from an infected ear-canal /middle ear? It hurts so much, I can barely see straight and I can’t keep taking painkillers, does anyone know something? I would be thankful for every advice, I’m getting very desperate.
Preventing infection with an improved silver coating for medical devices
Preventing infection with an improved silver coating for medical devices
According to folklore, silver bullets kill werewolves, but in the real world, researchers want to harness this metal to fight another deadly foe: bacteria. Recently, scientists have tried to develop a silver coating for implantable medical devices to protect against infection, but they’ve had limited success.

They want to see me again for another flexi in about a month so maybe they’ll find something then.
For now, I’m still on the modulen. I’m awaiting a prescription of it which apparently can take over a week as it’s not something a pharmacy would stock. I’m going to try and have small amounts of soft foods like yoghurt or mashed banana or potato for a few days to see how my gut handles it. So far, it’s been fine with smashed potato, and I had some banana last night which also went through me fine. I’m going to take it slow and only have it in the evening. That way, if my gut does protests, I’ll be at home where I can deal with it and not at work where I can’t.
Considering how quickly I responded to the antibiotics, I didn’t think it was Crohn’s (and nor did my GI or surgeon) but as there is no sign of infection, it does make me wonder what on earth my gut is playing at. It’s very frustrating.

I’m really proud of the slice of cheese in the TB granuloma. Official way of depicting TB from now on.
