How Can An Ear Infection Be Treated?
HI, I guess I have a slight ear infection, Dr. said it was the tube running up to my ear. She prescribed amoxiccillian (sp) and Methylprednisolone. It looks like a kit, take 6 one day and gradually goes down to 1 tablet. She said it was a steroid. Never had it before, can you elaborate?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
In such upper respiratory tract infection usually decongestant like levocetrizine and antibiotic is enough.
The doctor has examined you, and there might be more inflammation so that steroid prescribed
Steroid is powerful anti-inflammatory drug to relieve congestion
Hope your concern solved
Take care
