Do Earache With Head Swelling Require Consultation?
Saw a doctor a little over 2 weeks ago for stabbing ear pain and facial pain. Was given Augmentin for 2 weeks. Still have ear pain and feels like the side of my head is swollen, should I see and ENT.? Have had sinus surgery in the past and have multiple ear infections.

Hi,
It looks the Otitis Media, the infection of the middle ear.
Sometimes people are rewarded resistant to Amoxicillin, as looks in your case. Take another medication like any fourth-generation cephalosporins.
Yes, You must consult an ENT as your infection is two to three weeks old and there are no signs of improvement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
