I went to the doctor for earache and horrible headache, he prescribed me antibiotics and gave me a steroid shot. that was 15 days ago and i still have an earache and headache, not as bad, but i feel it getting worst. i finished my meds, 4 days ago. sinu

May need Dr. recheck: Most people get a headache at some time, such as from colds, infections (especially flu-like illnesses or ear/nose/throat illnesses), lack of sleep, too much driving, long hours on the computer, stress at work, medication effects, etc... A bad or increasing headache or one that hasn't resolved, such as in this case, should be examined again.
