I have an outer and inner ear infection. on medication and tylenol (acetaminophen) 2. feel no relief . what should i do?

Ear infection: It depends on how long you've been on the medications...It usually takes antibiotics 24-48 hours to start working. If it's been longer, then you should go back to see your doctor. Good luck and feel better!
