Sore throat. Check. Ear congestion. Check. However, I one upped the congestion and got some Mucinex-D and that has really helped! Much better than Zyrtec-D ever did. I guess by thinning the secretions it helps to get it out of the sinus cavaties easier vs just drying it up.
The intensity of my throat pain is going down finally and I haven't gotten any fevers. Highest temp over the course of the week was 99.3.
Hearing only out of my left ear is tiring. I feel even more so now since I have had the advantage of the level of the Esteem for a year. I don't feel like being social and I panic when the phone rings! Thankfully I should be able to use my Esteem ear again soon, within the next 2 weeks.
The most annoying thing now is the cotton ball in my ear and slathering it in vaseline everytime I want to shower. Yuck. And itchy! But I have to be careful not to scratch at my ear...ugh! Ear pain is nothing so that's great! Most concerning thought now is, will it feel uncomfortable when the doctor pulls the packing out of my ear??? Details to follow on Monday!
