A member asked:

I had tonsillitis and took antibiotics for ten days, but now my ear drum hurts when i swallow? should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam needed: It is quite possible that the eardrum is inflamed/infected although if your throat is still inflamed, this could be referred pain. Have your physician examine your ear drum as antibiotics may be indicated if it is inflamed.
