Cure For Ear Infection That Doesn’t Subside Even After Medication?

Hi, I have 2 ear infections that have been causing me nothing but pain the past week, well I have been on 2 types of anti b's and the pain has gone and the swelling is almost gone but my ears are leaking. but when they have leaked its dried up to this crystal form stuff and its rock hard in my ears. I still cannot hear much at all out of both my ears but I just wanted to know if there is any way I can remove this gunk from my ears? Thanks Heaps

hello.. well , the "gunk" will generally come out by itself and if you try to remove it, you may end up damaging the skin of the ear canal. you can put antibiotic drops like ciprofloxacin , 2 drops 5-6 times a day, that will help. thanks
