Ear infection that will not go away?

See ENT: Assuming you have been treated with numerous antibiotics by your doctor, it is now time to see an otolaryngologist (ent). Recurrent ear infections usually imply that your eustachian tube is blocked (this tube helps drain/decompress your middle ear to the outside world). An ENT will determine if you tube is blocked via a quick and painless endoscopic procedure in clinic.

May not be an infection: If it is just pain around your ear it may not be an infection. If you are having pain and hearing loss then it may well be an infection. Most cases of ear pain that i see in adults is from the jaw joint and not the ear. If it is your jaw then you need a soft diet, anti-inflammatories, ice and a trip to your dentist.
