Ear Infection!
Posted: 07-17-07 12:36pm

I been on antibiotics for 1 week for an ear infection! The ear pain was the worst pain ever, I no longer hve the pain but my ears still feel clogged. I really lost alot of my hearing. Does anyone know how long this will take to clear up?
I have not experienced any dizziness, I just cant hear!

im in the same boat as you, i'm on an antibiotic as well(one day left) and it's been right over a week since the pain stopped. at the moment it hurts when i put pressure on it such as burping or whatnot and my hearing the one ear is quite diminished. just wondering how long this usually lasts! someone please reply!

I would only give it a couple more days at best. You probably still have lots of inflammation and fluid in there. You should for sure see a difference really soon. If not, you need to contact your doctor again. You may need stronger antibiotics or it's possible that they may need to clean it out for you. Good luck.
