Accepted Answer

Not antibiotic: You may have a fungal infection in the ear canal and thus would not likely respond to abx.  If there is no history of ear drum perforation, some OTC anti-fungal ear drops (usually containing acetic acid) may be helpful. If problem persists, see your doctor to get checked out.
