Earache: This can happen from time to time. A patient is diagnosed with an ear infection, completes a course of antibiotic, but the pain persists. Likely reasons are: a different antibiotic is needed, a new infection began, the initial diagnosis was incorrect, and others. In all cases, a follow up exam is needed and a discussion with your doctor are needed.
