What Is The Remedy For Ear Ache And Throat Infection?
last week i had a really bad sore throat and ear ache. i took augmentin for 3-4 days but stopped because of the horrible diarrhea and stomach cramps i was getting, and not my sore throat has come back and i am sick all over again. can i start augmentin again or do i have to use a different antibiotic?
As per your query you have symptoms of severe middle ear infection and ear ache which is due to disturbance in Eustachian tube pressure. It could be due to accumulation of wax and fluids in ear. I would suggest you to take antibiotics and oral decongestants. You should put nasal decongestant drops and nasonex nasal sprays as well. Maintain ear clean and don't prick it with any sharp object. Avoid blowing if you have nose infection as well as it can lead to fall of mucus in throat and further infection. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper examination. Investigations like complete blood count & X-ray of paranasal sinus will be helpful in clinching the exact diagnosis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
