question: I was in an accident and fractured my left temporal bone 7 weeks ago and since then I had a recent mri that shows I still have fliud in mastoid air cells. I have been to the local ENT doctor and he said I am fine and didn t even look into my ear. I have pressure problems in the left ear that is coming back and ear is starting to swell. Could the fluid which they said was blood right after my accident turn into an infection?
