Hello I am on day 5 of my antibiotic for my ear infections. This morning, I still have pain and one ear is still leaking last night. Both my ears are blocked, I can hardly hear anything.

Good morning, Madam,

Indeed, the effect of antibiotics can be appreciated after 72 hours. If the symptoms you describe have newly appeared, such as discharge and blocked ears, I believe that you should consult again to re-evaluate the diagnosis and treatment.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
