I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. My right ear has been plugged for over a week. It is uncomfortable but not excruciating. I’m now completely deaf in that ear which is irritating. I have no other symptoms. No recent colds, haven’t gone swimming recently, etc. I went to the doctor on Monday and he said it was infected and gave me amoxicillin. It is not even a tiny bit better and I’ve taken 8 doses of the medicine. Usually antibiotics start to work pretty quickly, right?
I’ve done everything under the Sun to unclog it- taken Sudafed, used nasal decongestant, tried yawning, chewing gum, plugged my nose and breathe out, heat, massage, etc. Nothing works.
I have a follow up appointment on September 5th but I’m really hoping it resolves before then. Any advice?
