Blocked ear/dizziness 10 weeks
Hi doc!
Can I take antibiotic augmentin 625 for 5 days, specially if I have been having left ear plugged feeling and mild dizziness for over 2 months. All test results have come normal. Have already consulted 2 ENTs.
Does single course of antibiotic cause resistance?

Hii,
I dont think an antibiotic can help your ear symptoms. You have to find out the cause of ear block and treat for that
Next Steps
Better to do a audiology test-pure tone audiometry and decide on treatment plan.
Please consult for more details
