Taking antibiotic for ear infection - and it is also making my replaced knee joint feel better. why could that be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee infection also?: An antiobiotic goes to all parts of your body, including your ears and you knees, and everywhere else. If you have been having symptoms of knee pain that were improved with an antibiotic, you should probably tell your orthopedic surgeon and get his/her input!
