Ear Pain, Achy Neck, Swollen Throat, Headache On Back. Have Recurrent Ear Infections, Taken Amoxicillin.
Hello. I am having ear troubles. I have always had middle ear infections, and all the ER has given me is Amoxacillan. (Sorry for the spelling). I have pains running from my middle ear down my neck . My whole neck is aching and I woke up with no voice. My throat feels a bit swollen and everything is throbbing. I do have ringing in my ears. I have a headache in the back of my head and I ve felt groggy all day. I do have vertigo . I am 16 and without health care. Any help?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having acute middle ear infection giving all these symptoms.
You can take Amoxicilin or Azithromicin for 3-5 days.
Take NSAID like ibuprofen for 2-3 days.
Put antibiotic ear drops.
Ok and take care.
