I have a severe ear infection and have been on antibiotics (amoxicillin) for two days with no improvement. The swelling and pain is worse. I can t close or open my jaw all the way anymore. Should I go back to the doctor, or should I continue the antibiotics and wait it out a bit longer?
Hi , Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum . I would advice , you should go back to the the doctor & ask for better pain killer & antibiotic if not responding to it. Keep ear dry , don’t allow water go inside while bath. Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Regards.
