Clogged ears for 1.5 weeks. on antibiotics for ear infection. how long will clogged ears last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The mucus retention that allowed the ear infection to start & flourish can remain for several weeks after all the germs are dead. The body usually processes & clears the debris over time and occasionally the mucus persists for months. Re-infection can also occur when the mucus does not clear.
