What to do for ear infection that isn't going away with antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See specialist: If it is a draining ear infection, the specialist will typically culture the infection to determine the antibiotics most appropriate for the infection. If it is not draining or culture is not possible, your doctor may change antibiotics to help treat it.
