Can BPV Make The Ears Appear Infected?

I was diagnosed with Benign Positional Vertigo on August 30th. I have been feeling better, less vertigo. I went to a doctor on September 22 with my husband who had a bad cold. The PA said he had a bad chest cold and I asked to check me for symptoms. He looked in my ears and said I had a severe ear infection. I have had no ear pain. He prescribed 875 mg Augmentin twice a day. I have taken 5 pills and am experiencing 24 hour diarrhea. Can BPV make the ears appear to be infected?

Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
BPV does not lead to ear infection nor does it have any relationship to external ear ( the part one can see looking from outside) infection.
Vertigo may occur if there is labrynthitis which is an inner ear inflammation which may be related to a viral infection.
The diarrhea is likely to be related to Augmentin and is likely to stop if you discontinue the medicine.
Do get back to me if you have further queries
