Suggest Treatment For Ear Infection

Hi I ve been very sick with strep and a double ear infection for about a month now. Rapid tests came back negative but the culture came back positive. It took 3 different tries to find an antibiotic that worked in addition to steroids. I m always tired and I ve noticed white on my tonsils again. I came back negative for mono.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have ear infection which seems to be due to ear wax build up, fluid accumulation, and mainly due to Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles and take steam twice a day. you should apply warm dry compresses to external ear. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may examine by otoscopic means to check level of infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics amoxicillin at least for a week along with decongestants. Put Otogesic ear drops.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
