3 to 4 weeks: It may take 3 to 4 weeks for middle ear infection to clear. Follow up with doctor in 1 month if symptoms have not resolved.

Both sons are on amoxicillin (5 months for an ear infection & 2.5 years for strep). My husband and I are both allergic to amoxicillin (rashes). We told the doctor this but they were still prescribed. Would severe reaction happen immediately? Nervous?
