Suggest Treatment For Severe Ear Congestion
My left ear has been plugged for a week. I went to urgent care and the doc said I had fluid in my middle ear and to take Flonase and Alegra D. I started that on Saturday and it s now Wednesday with no relief. I have drainage from the ear. First it was clear now it s yellow. How long do I wait before going back?

Hello,
If the drainage from your ear is yellow this means that now there is a bacterial infection and you should meet as soon as possible your doctor again to start an antibiotic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
