A member asked:

Ears not better after full course of antibiotics?

Dr. Tony Ho answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Go back to doctor: Hard to say without an exam; if your ears are not better, it may be because of a different diagnosis (such as concomitant impaired drainage), or because of resistant bacteria.
