What did they prescribe you? I used to have chronic ear infections, maybe once a year. Its been about 5 years now, but I know that pain, its unbearable.

I've heard the typical anti-infective is pcn, but I'm allergic to that. So I've always been prescribed azithromicin. And that has always had me feeling better within a couple days.

Augmentin (amoxicillin) oral antibiotic and hydrocortisone ear drops. The hydrocortisone is supposed to make the swelling go down (but so far it has not but my ear is feeling cold so maybe it's doing something, idk).

I'm being told 3 of the Augmentin (500 mg tablets) per day, or 1 every 8 hours (but I got it at 6 so welp) and 5 drops of the eardrops 4 times a day. I'm using Advil too as it's the only painkiller I have, but I wish I had something stronger.
