Question
Ear infection
59 minutes ago
I have ear infection and pus was coming out of ear. I took Ceftas 200mg and Hicet DC tablets for 10 days. Still pus was coming, but it was reduced. So I started Ceftas 400mg from 11th day and today it is 13th day. I read on internet that it has to be taken only for 7-14 days. The pus is almost gone. But little is there. If the pus persists even after 14 days, then can I and shall I continue Ceftas 400mg even after 14 days? And if yes, for how many days shall I continue it?

Don't self medicate.there are different types of ear infection.. If infection involved the bones it's difficult to control by antibiotics only. Get an ent opinion for proper assessment.
