I always recommend using an anti inflammatory drug along with the antibiotics to help reduce he inflammation so you could hear better. Good Luck PS. Try not to wet your ear when you take a bath and avoid diving, You should be feeling better than when you started taking the antibiotics, if not, it probably did not work and you need to go back so your doctor can check it again and may be take a sample for culture and try something stronger.

And yes taking a decongestant would help allot. Unfortunately it might take a second round of antibiotics to clear it up 100%. And yes taking a decongestant would help allot.

We have all become resistant to amoxillin over the years. Thats what the doc told me when amoxillin didnt work for a ear infection. He switched to Zithromax and it cleared it in no time.
