A member asked:
I have inflammation in my ear, i can't hear from it properly, also i'm in pain. what are the possible treatments (antibiotics + pain relief) for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need exam: The treatment choice depends on whether there is an infection - and if so, if it is an outer or middle ear infection. For pain relief, I would suggest motrin while you are waiting to see your physician. If you have a middle ear infection, your doctor will prescribe an appropriate oral antibiotic. If you have an outer ear infection, they will likely prescribe antibiotic drops. Needs exam!
