How does amoxicillin help inner ear problem?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It probably won't: Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, useful for bacterial infections. It is not prescribed usually for inner ear problems. It would be appropriate for a middle ear infection, an acute otitis media. This is what most people mean when they say "ear infection." see you local ENT if your problem does not resolve. Best wishes.

Antibiotic: Amoxicillin is an antibiotic so if you are being prescribed that drug then your doc must think you have an infection.
