Ear infection... Treatment not working?
I've been having an earache for three days now. I saw a doctor at an insta care the first day, and he diagnosed me with a middle ear infection. He gave me amoxicillin for the infection And told me to take Ibuprofen and use heat packs to help with the pain. Two days later, I feel like it's gotten worse. My ear is throbbing and tender to the touch. My lymph node next to my ear is really swollen, and I can't talk or eat without pain in my jaw. Is it possible that there is something going on besides the middle ear infection? Is there something else I could do to help with the pain?
