Re: Ear infection question
I had a horrible ear infection over the summer as well, lasted about 2 weeks. It was first diagnosed as inner/middle ear, and the doctor gave me a week's worth of oral antibiotics. Turned out that did nothing and the pain and pressure got worse and worse. Went to ENT, and it was re-diagnosed as an outer ear infection (swimmer's ear). He gave me eardrops and some serious painkiller.
Even after the infection cleared it took about another month for my hearing to return to normal.
