A member asked:

I am using amoxicillin for ear infection and i cannot sleep in the night because of the pain can i take a dayquil to sleep?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: But there is something not quite right here. If you have been on amoxicillin for more than 3 days without any improvement you need to consult an ENT doctor. Another condition which mimics ear infection is temporomandibular disease from teeth-grinding.
