Hearing loss

2017-08-31 12:34:12
Hello, I had a cold that started 11 days ago (fever, muscle ache, sore throat, cough). On Saturday I got Zithromax for an ear infection from a GP. The cold has passed (not feeling great yet though) but I am experiencing hear loss in the affected ear, numbness around it as well as a... weird feeling. How long should I wait to see the doctor?
