Hole in eardrum, ear infection 11655...India
In early Apr 2023, a 42-year-old school teacher, noticed regular white discharge from her left ear, later becoming thicker and occasionally reddish. Although there was no pain, the bothersome discharge increased after a bath. So she started placing cotton in her ear. A homoeopath treated her with ear drops (SBL Mullein) but this aggravated her condition causing severe pain, hence it was stopped. On 16 Apr, an allopathic doctor identified a 2-4 mm infected perforation in the middle layer of the eardrum with fused outer and inner layers; he believed the perforation to be very old. She mentioned she had impaired hearing in that ear over the past few months and presently, she had pain also. The doctor gave her antibiotics for five days after which the pain ceased but the discharge persisted. He then recommended surgery for separating the fused layers and closing the perforation*. Reluctant to go for the surgery, she sought vibrionics treatment and on 20 July 2023, the practitioner gave her:
CC5.1 Ear infections + CC5.2 Deafness + CC10.1 Emergencies…TDS and in coconut oil…BD for applying to the back of left ear
Initially inconsistent, after a month, she religiously followed the dosage regimen. In Sept, she excitedly reported that the discharge had completely stopped. In Nov she visited her doctor for a follow-up scan. To the surprise of the doctor as well as the patient, there was no trace of perforation**, eliminating the need for surgery! When the doctor exclaimed that it was a miraculous cure without any treatment, the patient revealed that she had been taking vibrionics remedies.
In Dec, the patient informed that her hearing was back to normal, so the dosage, oral as well as topical, was reduced to OD which the patient continues to date. As of Feb 2024, there has been no recurrence.
* If the layers were not fused there was a chance that the perforation could have healed by itself.
**Reports of the eardrum before and after vibro treatment are available on request.
