A member asked:
Problem in hearing after suffering from a week long fever. is it some kind of ear infection.is this problem can be resolved by taking antibiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: If there was a week long fever, then yes, there may very well be an ear infection, especially if the fever is ongoing or it seems like you're underwater. If there is chronic fluid or an active infection, then an antibiotic may be called for. Talk to your doc about it. An exam would give you the answer.
