I was just diagnosed with an ear infection and prescribed cipro ear drops as well as bactrim. Afte rmy initial 4 drops this morning, my ear has been constantly draining and making these crackling and grinding sounds - is this going to continue until all the infectin is cleared up? I am assuming the crackling and grinding sounds are agood signs adn that the flood discharging from my ear is infact the infection making it's way out.
