A member asked:

I have an ear infection, not from a cold been using ear drops and ibuprofen and that has helped. will it go away or will i have to take antibiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it will: The majority of ear infections (70-80%) will go away on their own over 3-4 days. After that time, especially if you have a fever, you should be seen. A decongestant antihistamine combination might be slightly helpful.
