Ear infection Rx: Your treatment regimen prescribed is fairly standard for bacterial ear infections, but your persistent symptoms are not. You should be feeling better by now! It's likely time to have an expert such as an ENT doctor evaluate you for other causes.

Maby not: If treatment isn't helping the assumed diagnosis may be in error. Ear pain can be derived from many structures within the distribution of a few shared nerves. This can include dental. muscle, and ear related problems. A visit with a ENT specialist may help sort this out.
