Suggest Treatment For Ear Pain And Throat Infection

default
Posted on Wed, 18 Mar 2015
Question: I presume I have heat in the body. My eyes got heavy and there has been a discharge like puss/flem from them. In addition I have had a painful ear pain and a throat infection. I am anxious that it might be swine flu - however I did get vaccinated last month.
Please help!

Brief Answer:
Its a bacterial infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of bacterial infection. I would suggest antibiotic amoxicillin with clavulanic acid to be taken thrice a day for atleast 5 days. It does not seem to be swine flu.

Please see an ENT specialist for examination and appropriate treatment.
