What to do if i have ear infection spread from my right ear to my left?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take your antibiotic: You need to know if you have external otitis or middle ear otitis. For the first one you usually use ear drops and for the second you take systemic antibiotics. If it's external you apply the same drop in both ear and in the second one the systemic antibiotics effect both ear.
