Ear discomfort: The pain may or may not be a direct effect of the infection itself. If the pain is due to inflammation this should go away rapidly, assuming the causative organism is susceptible to augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate). If, however, pain is due to congestion and consequent occlusion of the eustacian tubes this may require decongestants and possibly steroids. See your doctor for reevaluation of your ear.
