And I m on my second day with azithromycin thanks

Hi i do care for your concern.
Your history suggest of middle ear infection in right ear too.
i would advise to continue azithromycin for the full course.
Putting ear drop will add to the help, and can be used.
Hope infection settles down in few days.
