Avatar n tn t get to see one but i saw a doctor who said my ear canal is inflamed so he gave me antibiotics. I took them for 5 days and the pain got worse, and my jawline under the infected ear is swollen and it's hurting right underneath my ear in my neck etc. so i went to an urgent care centre he said he can see it's inflamed but i need to put drops in as well as take ANOTHER set of antibiotics. It's the second day and i tell you now there is still NO improvement.

Avatar f tn I have had an ear infection for nearly a week now. I'm very tired as the pain in my ear is so bad i can't sleep at all. I've been to the doctor twice in one week and she put me on antibiotics and ear drops even a cream but they don't help. Even painkillers don't help with the pain. If anyone has any tips on getting to sleep i would be very grateful. It's really getting me down.
Avatar f tn 2 days ago I was prescribed amoxicillin for an ear infection. Last 2 nights I have had trouble sleeping pounding heart etc all the symptoms I remember from my.bad anxiety days. I called back Drs office. They seems sceptical these were side effects of amox. But I got them to agree to give me a diff antibiotic. So .. am I crazy? Now thinking back 2 years ago I am beginning to think my original incident was actually started from a course of amoxicillin! Anyone have experience w.
2095738 tn?1339825243 I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow and have had a double ear infection for over 2 weeks. I had them several times last year starting this time of year and always needed the super strength prescription with steroids. Because I'm pregnant, my doc is afraid to prescribe anything other than amoxicillin, but my ears have gotten so much worse. Has anyone been able to take anything different?
Avatar f tn This child broke his arm and the was I found out was he calmly told me his arm no longer works. How long do you let an ear infection go before you move to oral antibiotics? Do a lot of your kids have ear infections from reflux? Gary had one a few weeks ago that he didn't tell me about and he got a small hole in his ear drum.
Avatar f tn I had a really bad pain in my ear yesterday, so I went to see a doctor, and he put me on antibiotics for an ear infection. Just recently, I was laying down and felt a drainage of some sort in the ear, and I carefully put a cotton swab to the edge of my ear to clean it, and found a bit of blood. When I went to check again with a fresh cotton swab, there was no more blood. An hour later, and still no trace of blood since then.
Avatar m tn Ive had an ear infection for 4 weeks now. 3 Weeks ago I went to the doctors and she wouldn't give me anything for it. Been really painful this weekend and felt sick and a bit dizzy because of it. What should I do? How long can I expect to have it with not taking anything for it?
Avatar f tn I woke up today with a itchy left ear and my left gland is swollen . Just wondering if it is a ear infection . Is there any way to treat it at home ?
Avatar n tn I'm 22 weeks pregnant and I'm pretty sure I have or im getting a ear infection. Is there anything OTC that I can take? Trying to avoid seeing a doctor.
Avatar f tn s a godsend of a medication lol. I had a double ear infection, double sinus infection, and stage 1 phumonia(sp), and Zithromax had me cleared up and feeling better withen the same night of taking it. I was also worried to take it at first, so I called almost every pharmacy in town and asked about it, and I got the same answer, which is it's safe, and I even called my doc and double checked with him lmao. Zithromax does cross into the placenta, but not as much as other antibiotics.
Avatar n tn That definitely sounds like a fungal infection. I've had a sinus infection and ear infection for well over a month now. It was so bad that I was going to the doctor daily for IV antibiotics. I was sent to the ENT who suctioned my ear and found I had a fungal infection. My ear drum also had a small perforation which affected my hearing some. He had me continue with the antibiotics and gave me eardrops. The eardrops smelled like vinegar and burned.
5915949 tn?1396188227 They say its a class B which means there arent any studies whether its safe or not. 16wks and have a sinus infection and I'm wondering has anyone taken a Z-pack for antibiotics and had any complications?
Avatar n tn The third time was in April and I got bit by another bug while I was sleeping and once again it turned into lymphangitis. For the latest round of antibiotics I was outside last week in the middle of the afternoon and I looked down at my legs and there was a big rash going up my shin. The urgent care doctor once again diagnosed that as lymphangitis and gave me more antibiotics. Each time the antibiotics have worked, however the frequent infections has me very worried.
Avatar m tn ve had this problem for almost 30 years, is it common for ear infections to persist for this long? I still don't have an eardrum, would I be easily susceptible to another chronic ear infection if this one is cleared due to the lack of an eardrum? Thank you again for your help.
11970398 tn?1443134602 I went to the doc today for a sinus infection, bronchitis and ear infection :/ they gave me antibiotics for the infections and mucinex for the bronchitis. How far are you? They said because I was in third trimester that it was safer to take antibiotics.
1629404 tn?1299628841 he also gave him some Mometamax to drop in his ear. The infection had went away very quickly. about 3 mths agoe one ear starting swelling up and he started shaking his ear and scratching. I started giving the medications i had left over and it went away in as quick as 2 days. My dog ran away for 2 weeks and we found him. He came back with what looks like his ear exploded. Smells very bad and has blood.
Avatar f tn l went straight to the doctor and she told me not to remove the earing as it could cause the infection to close in inside my ear and she prescribed antibiotics(pills) for me. you could also try getting infection ointments from your nearest pharmacy and applying these while taking antibiotics to fight the infection. Also try not to take out your earings out as the piercing is new and will take a very long time to heal and so that could irritate it.
