A member asked:
What do you recommend if i have a bad ear infection. can it cause you to feel sick and under the weather?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confirm/ treat: You help yourself by having it confirmed as a treatable form of ear infection (some are viral and self heal).Then you follow the treatment plan and use whatever comfort measures seem to help.Finish all medications even if the discomfort leaves quickly and you feel better after half the meds are taken.
