A member asked:
Can amoxacillin cure an ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : If the ear infection is caused by a bacterium susceptible to amoxicillin, then its use will help cure it along with the immune system. If the bacterium is resistant to amoxicillin, or the infection is caused by a virus, then the infection wont necessarily improve right away.
