Suggest Medication For A Viral Infection With Painful Ears
I've got a viral infection and I've already had the full amount of paracetamol allowed within a 24 hr period today. My ears are still murderously painful & I still feel feverish even though I took the last dose an hour ago - is there anything else I can take?
It seems like ear pain and fever are due to acute infection in ear and it seems like a bacterial infection and less probably to be viral..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and Otoscopic examination can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You will be advised to take antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen,Tylenol for reducing fever and along with it putting antibiotic ear drops along with steroid ear drops and decongestant nasal drops containing Xylometazoline..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
