Comments (7)Thanks everyone for all the replies. I have used hydrogen peroxide allot for all my ear problems, that was recommended my the doctor. In the past I have had some success with equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol. This last time I just used hp and saw some ear drops at the vitamin shoppe that has grapefruit seed extract and tea tree oil from a company called nutribiotic that seemed to work well although they are it is very thick....See MoreEar Infection
Comments (8)Yes,I went to the doctor and he said he wasn't sure what was causing this. He said that the amount of antibiotics that I had already taken should have knocked it out. So he gave me some prednasone (sp) and some ear drops. That was 9 days ago and today I went to have a hearing test done. I told them that my ear is no better and and my next appt isn't till the end of June. The doctor's nurse called me at home and set up another appt tomorrow at 9 30 to drain my ear agin and give me something else to take. I guess he doesn't know what it is either. I'm so tired of putting up with this. The hearing test tho said that when this is cleared up my hearing should come back just fine. I'll post again tomorrow after my appt and let you know what else he says. So far it has cost me 168.00 for the first appt. 186.00 for the hearing test and now an appt tomorrow. I'm almost out of money so I hope he can figure this out....See Moreear infection
Comments (2)I agree with agnes. You need to take ALL of the antibiotics for the prescribed period - usually 7 days, sometimes 10 days. You're not doing yourself a favor by switching back and forth to different antibiotics. The bacteria may not respond to either of them because you haven't taken them ALL AS PRESCRIBED. Another thing, if you don't take it as prescribed and have patience, you can get a ruptured eardrum from too much infection. If you see a discharge of blood or pus from the ear, this could indicate a ruptured eardrum. By not taking your medicine the proper way (as precribed) you are prolonging the infection. Long-lasting ear infections can cause short-term hearing loss, long-term hearing loss, or ruptured eardrum....See MoreLYNN3521_aol_com
