Suffer From Bronchitis. Taking Cephalexin. Ear Popping After Coughing. Ear Infection?
My mother who is 85 had bronchitus and was on cephalexin to get rid of it. Since then (and her medicine has been gone now for 2 days), she has been complaining of her ear popping in the morning, after the first time she coughs. And then it stays like that all day, and she can't hear out of it. Could this be an ear infection?
