Posted on Mon, 19 May 2014
Question: I have been being treated for Sinusitis Maxillary and Otis Media and am now in a second week of antibiotic treatment having been given an antibiotic injection plus a steroid injection on Wednesday. I no longer have pain but I still cannot hear very well. How long does it take the fluid in the ear to go away?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
In general a person becomes all right within 3-5 days of starting the treatment but in some cases,it may take 1-2 weeks to become completely all right.Since you are already in 2nd week of the treatment and feel much better,i hope you should be all right in next few days.
Carry on with the prescribed treatment.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
