A member asked:
Hi, i have otitis media with perforation. been taking oral antibiotics for 5 days as well as ear drops. i still feel some pain+discharge. normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain after 5 days!: In reality after 5 days on antibiotics orally and ear drops after perforated eardrum the pain should be resolved. That infected tympanic membrane should be reexamined and very likely new antibiotic plus steroid to help with the inflammatory process prescribed.
