Is it safe to take ibuprofen with penicillin for an ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can take Ibuprofen and penicillin antibiotics at the same time. Penicillin is not the best antibiotic for an ear infection. Amoxicillin, augmentin, ceftin, (cefuroxime) vantin etc. Would be better.
