You need to go back to the Dr. and get a stronger antibiotic. Just let them know that it isn't working.

I sufferred the same atrocious fate a few years ago...it turned out I had an absest Tooth! No kidding! It caused bacteria to spread around and cause havok. I had a prescription of antibiotics for 3 days and then had to have my wisdom teeth all removed...Good Luck! Oddly enough I am home flying the couch today because I have Strep Throat right now...and it's causing me a lot of grief. My ears hurt, throat feels like I swallowed a bunch of tiny razor blades...aarrgghhhh! I am soothing my throat today with Hot Green Tea and AntiBiodics and Tylenol/Advil for the pain. As for Echinacea...it's a PREVENTION medicine...almost useless when the infection is in full gear. Get a Warm Towel (microwave with a cup of water until the water boils and the towel takes up the steam) and wrap it around your throat...and drink some warm liquids with no sugar or milk...and avoid Coffee. This will help you temporarily but long enough for you to cruise to your local MediCenter and get a quick Rx.
Hope this helps.

Your body must be use to the antibiotics. I would try something natural, there is a natural suplement called Tahitian Noni, it helped me with me ears and headaches. E-mail me so I can give you more information Mayra_Lopez_2004@yahoo.com

hi
I'm a RN and this needs to be seen by a ear doctor not a family doctor.
you need to be seen and soon,before this gets even worse.and you might be coming down with a summer cold or summer flu.
try seeing the ear doc first and they can tell you something more better then what your family doc has.
