A member asked:
I have had an ear infection for 10 days with no improvement after 4 days on antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define improvement ?: It can take 3-4 weeks for hearing to improve after starting treatment, so if that is your definition you need to be patient.If you ran fever and it continues and or you continue to have pain, the antibiotic may not be working and a change may be necessary.
