A member asked:

Had an ear infection. took 16 pills of amoxicillin with no effect. now took a single shot of rocephine + dexaval. how long to feel better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Generally within: 72 hours. if symptoms persist after 7 days, it will be best to follow up for re-evaluation. Take care. healthtap.com/florence-nnebe
