Ear infection: Unfortunately we live in an era of bacterial resistance to infection because of over-use or improper use of the medications. You failed to mention who is treating you, a GP or an ENT specialist. If a GP, see an ENT. If an ENT, be evaluated at a teaching hospital. If there was a safe simple way to address your problem it would have been pointed out to you by now.
