A member asked:
Monday i was told i had a middle ear infection and was put on amoxicillin following my eardrum ruptured now i'm on ofloxacin should my ear be clogged?

No: For ear infection with ruptured ear drum ,you need both -amoxicillin as wells ofloxacin as complete treatment ..Ofloxacin acts locally to clear infection .It does not clog the rears but clears the secretion in the ear .

Ruptured eardrum: Certainly your ear may feel clogged due to residual fluid still in the canal (either the effusion that caused the rupture or from the ear drops themselves.).
