A member asked:

I was prescribed ofloxicin ear drops for a ruptured drum and infection in 1 ear. i used them once and they are making the opposite ear feel full. there is no extra pain but it feels like its adding to the overall pressure in my head. is that okay?

Usually, the underlying cause of an ear infection is the production of mucous and swelling in the throat from a respiratory virus that causes the ducts that drain your ears to be blocked, creating fluid buildup in the middle ear vulnerable to bacterial infection. What happens on one side can happen on the other though rarely at the exact same time. The timing with ofloxacin is likely coincidental.
