A member asked:
I have an ear infection and have been on amoxicillin for 9 days now but there is a ton of fluid in my ear and its driving me insane. decongestants a?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid ?: Middle ear infections are only possible if middle ear fluid is trapped in the space & feed the germs that enter from the throat. The fluid may persist for several weeks after all germs are dead. Antihistamines can thicken fluid & retard the time needed for the fluid to leave. If you are having fluid in the outer ear canal it is abnormal & should be checked.
