Suggest Treatment For Ear Infection

It's allergy season! I recently had a slight ear infection and have been dealing with allergies. This morning I woke up with chest congestion as well. Also some achiness and a little diarhea. I have some Amoxicillin on hand. Do you thing this will help?

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Your symptoms are indicating viral infection complicated with ear infection and gastroenteritis (mild diarrhea).

The aim of treatment is reducing the symptoms:
- lots of fluids
- nasal decongestants
- anti-histaminics
- mucolytics to dissolve the phlegm
- probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- anti-pyretics for fever and pain

Amoxicillin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infection. It will help but first we should make sure you are having a secondary bacterial infection to this primary viral infection.

Wish fast recovery.
