What to do about ear infections that come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May Need ENT: A true ear infection may improve naturally.But if the symptoms persist, the doctor may need to prescribe antibiotics. .I would wait no more than a week.If they are persistant, an ENT consult and tubes may be necessary.
