Suggest Medication For Continued Sinus Infection With Pain In Ears

I have been suffering with a sinus infection for 3 weeks. Amoxicillin, sinus rinse, decongestants, anti-histymines & nothing has helped, now it hurts in front of & behind my ear. I am scheduled for a skin
prick next week. I do have bad allergies, have been tested in the past, with no positive results. Guess
I need some anti-biotic ear drops or a stronger med. Any suggestions

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for contacting HCM. I am sorry to hear that you are having sever sinus infection. You have already been treated once for sinusitis but the pain and infection persists. This is a very common problem and one that sometime requires a very powerful antibiotic like amoxicillin with clavulanic acid for 2-4 weeks. At the root of a lot of chronic sinus infections are allergies and I recommend you also proceed with the skin testing for allergies.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your health care questions and concerns
