What Causes Itchy Ears While On Amoxil?

Likely to be secondary to the infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
The nasopharynx is connected to the ear via a tube called the eustacian tube. Any infective or inflammatory / allergic process affecting either the nasal cavities/sinuses or pharynx can extend to the ear that can present as pain, itching or temporary hearing difficulties etc. If you were my patient, I would add a decongestant plus antihistamine combination along with the antibiotics to counter the symptoms in the ear. Its not necessary for full fledged flu alone to cause such an allergy. Based on your description, its most likely related to your sinus blockade for which you are on amoxicillin.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
