Suggest Treatment For An Ear Infection
I was just diagnosed with an ear infection and the doctor told me he would cal into the pharmacy a prescription for some antibiotic drops. When I went to pick up the prescription they gave me nitofurantoin bid capsules. Would they be prescribed for an ear infection?

Hi i do care for your concern.
The ear infection most of the times caused by bacteria.
The drug nitrofurantoin has broad spectrum of activity and this would definitely help to treat your disease.
Though other higher antibiotics are available the drug that you are taking now will help you a lot.
Hope you recover soon.
