Prescribed antibiotics can be safely taken during pregnancy but analgesic use should be restricted to safe analgesics such as paracetamol unless pain is severe and unbearable. If the infection can be treated with drops then ear drops can be used
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment if required
