What To For For Ear Infection?
I recently got an ear infection with a ruptured eardrum. My doctor prescribed amoxicillin/clavunate potassium and oxofloxacin otic solution due to the large amount of discharge in my ear. My prescriptions will last me 10 days. Can i go to an amusement park and get on the rollercoasters once i'm done with the meds and the infection is gone even if i still have the ruptured eardrum?

Dear in acute ASOM after ear infection ruptured tymanic membrane may heal 2-3weeks. But it is important to follow with your ENT specialist to know weather it is closed or not. few people with chronic infection it won't heal and again pus water entering into ear canal us dangerous. so please consult your ENT specialist before going to park.
