Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion there is no need to take anything else.

Azithromycin never causes ear heavyness and discharge.

Eardrops of antibiotics and frequent cleaning, dressing and avoiding enetering water in the ear can help you recover ear discharge faster.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
