Hello

If you are having a bad ear infection then i would advice you not to go to the theme park as it may worsen the situation.
You may need to change your antibiotic and start on antibiotic plus steroid drops. Please meet your ent doctor for further advice.

Thanks

Hello

I would recommend that you should avoid traveling specially when you are having an ear infection as it will only make matters worse , earplugs will not be sufficient to help you. please continue the antibiotics and ear drops , as they will help treat your infection.

Thanks
