Do u think chronic ear infection & fluids used antibiotics and ear drops 7 days . used other drops been 3 weeks nothing got better or wont go away.

Get rechecked: You may need oral antibiotics or a change in ear drop medication. I would suggest a bacterial culture of any ear fluids. You are looking at a minimum for 7-10 days of therapy as a minimum and can last 2-3 weeks. Get reexamined.
