I started with what felt like a head cold then one day my right ear plugged up and was so painful after only a matter of hours that I went to Urgent Care. Now I have just finished the 10 day course of Amoxicillin that doctor put me on for a severe ear infection. I feel completely better, except that my hearing in my right ear is still really diminished. I still feel some slight pressure in my ear. I can sometimes create a popping nose by plugging my nose and mouth and exhaling or when I swallow/yawn but nothing fully clears my ear. Do I need to go see a doctor again? Should I wait and see if my ear eventually drains and I can hear again? If so, how long should I wait before it becomes truly worrisome and I need to see a doctor? I don t want to be half deaf the rest of my life.
