A member asked:
Have ear infection, hearing sometime on sometime off, can hear the morning then cannot hear in the evening, is it recovering?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is not a sign of recovery. Recovery would manifest in steady improvement. If you've been taking antibiotics for less than 72 hours, keep on taking them. If no improvement after that, call your doc. Make sure to take a probiotic supplement along with the antibiotic to prevent diarrhea.
