A member asked:

Dx with parotid gland infection. augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) worked for some but still can't hear out of ear. should i wait for the 10 days after to see if it works?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Finish the meds: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) (amoxicillin and clavulonic acid) is a good choice for this, i would wait until meds are finished and if still suffering be re-examined by your md.
