Q: had an ear infection since dec, tried otomize ear infection didnt clear so dr did swab, swab results showed an unusual bacterial infection. dr said lab recommended a differnt antibiotic ear drop will this work now and clear infection?

: If there is an oral antibiotic which is sensitive to that unusual bacteria I would prefer a combination of both topical and systemic antibiotics for this otitis media because of your concern. Good luck!
