How to ease pressure in the head and ear?
What would be best antibiotic or medicine or
treatment to those neuro symptoms?

What have helped you with similar neuro symptoms?
My symptoms at the moment are very bad.

I am very grateful for your answers.

My daughter and I used diamox (while on antibiotic therapy). It helped relieve the head pressure/pain.

My son's LLMD told him to take Benadryl for his ear pressure. I did help some.

Bored, I tried Imitrix and had mixed results. My LLMD gave me an Rx for Topamax. Anybody try this for head pressure?

Diamox is next on the list.

Thank you all for your answers.

Still one question..
What is the generic name for Diamox (=diazepam?), Imitrix and Topamax?

Diamox = ACETAZOLAMIDE

Imitrex = SUMATRIPTAN

Topomax = TOPIRAMATE

Valium = DIAZEPAM

My doctor prescribed Tramadol (Ultram) for me.

It helps a great deal with headache and pressure plus bodyache but is not without side effects.

See this MedlinePLUS link about it:

There are apparently two different types of Tramadol -- with and without tylenol.

The tramadol with tylenol helped relieve pressure and pain.

One month, though, the pharmacist got things confused, and I received the tramadol without tylenol.

I got violently ill and felt like I had been on the biggest drinking spree of my life.

Hey Foggy. I take 150mg nightly of Topomax. It makes my head hurt a little less intensely. It's kind of prophylactic - won't stop a headache, but s'posed to prevent them.

I liked Imitrex but found Relpax to be better. Takes longer to kick in, but then it works for a longer period. These are what I call my "rescue" meds for when head is REALLY bad.

A trial of Diamox did nothing for me, unfortunately.

The abx that helped me with those sx was the treatment for babs.

I did mepron + zithro + artemesia (6 months), then I did mepron + ketek + artemesia (4 months); after this I got switched to malarone and on less than a month I got the hedache/ear presure and soreness everywhere back.

I re-started mepron+zithro and by the second week the hedaches started to come down; I am still on this combo right now.

Hope this helps, take care,
