ear was leaky for months. Doctor did a culture, and started me on Ciprodex before culture came back. Three days later culture came back as a yeast infection, however I was out of the country and did not get the message. Continued using Ciprodex even though my ear swelled shut right after starting using it. 10 days later I am back, I get the message and stop the drops. It has been 4 days since discontinuing drops and my ear is still swollen shut. No pain or redness, but I am going crazy about the swelling. Is there anything I can do to get the swelling to go down? I am not due back at Dr. til next week.
