Strong Antibiotic For Sinus And Ear Infection (Top voted first)

Updated

Had an ear infection for many years now, (6 years)which flares up every now and then. Go to the Doctors and get antibiotics, drops etc but it still comes BACK! Latest round of tablets now all gone, (Ciprofloxacin tablets prescribed this time) But can feel the pain coming back. Beside myself, enough is enough what can I do now???

Have you consulted an ear, nose and throat specialist?

In such cases, it usually isn't the same infection ongoing, but something that is making your prone to get infections on a regular basis.

This can sometimes happen to people who have a shape abnormality in their ear canals, or something wrong with their sinuses. Only a proper exam and testing is going to help you get to the root of the problem and find a solution.

If it is a persistent MIDDLE ear infection, beware. These infections have the potential to cause serious conditions like facial paralysis or brain abscess. You should ask your ear nose & throat specialist about a scan of your mastoid to check for bone erosion.
