Brief Answer:
Antibiotics should continue

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The discharge from your ear could be otitis media. However the medial crusting near the eye and the swelling of the orbital area looks upon general inspection to be pre septal cellulitis or early presentation of orbital cellulitis. Both conditions can lead or be caused by a sinus infection ( sinusitis). The tinnitus can be due to nasal obstruction interfering with the Eustachian tube opening and closing. Treatment for all three is antibiotics. If the swelling gets tense and progresses rapidly despite the antibiotics, surgical drainage should be considered, in consult with your doctor. Glaucoma and diabetes should be screened for, via checking Intraocular pressure and FBS/HbA1C. Steroids use should be held till at least three days after the antibiotics.

Let me knowi if you have any query

wishing you best of health

Brief Answer:
dcnb use can lead to superimposed infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,

Based on the pictures you sent and your description of the dcnb use, the conditions I described in the previous answer are possible.

An allergic response to the dcnb is also possible, but that too being a foreign substance cause an infection leading orbital or preseptal cellulitis.

For the thigh rash you could apply local calamine lotion/ betnovit cream. Anti histamines like desloratidine can also be taken along 5 mg bd for 5 days. Most likely it will fade away.

Let me know if there is any clarification

Thanks.
Dr. M.S. Khalil
