Hi my name is Brittany and I ve just turned 19 on the 16th of this month. I now have no Medicaid and in need of care for my ear infection. I don t have a job and my family doesn t make much money. Is there any way I can get back on Medicaid and how much will it cost?? I really need dental care as well for my wisdom teeth. They ve been bothering me as well. Please help. I really need health insurance.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, It is possible that your ear infection is complicated leading to infection of the bone behind the ear called the mastoid bone. You require an appropriate antibiotic. The right antibiotic can be selected by doing a culture and sensitivity testing. Please consult your ENT surgeon for the same. You can take any over the counter painkiller after checking the dosage. Thank you.
