Diagnosed a week ago for middle ear infx. and finished 3 day z-pack- 500mg. still having terrible ear pain- when will it stop?

See Dr. again: It sounds like the Z pack may not have gotten rid of the infection and you may need another antibiotic. The only way to know for sure is to have your ears re-examined -- and the sooner, the better!
