Okay, I Need Some Pity Today
I was diagnosed with an ear infection last Sunday in my left ear. Yesterday it spread to my other (the right one) ear. I have a high temperature and am feeling just generally lousy. I can't hear properly and my head feels like it's on fire. I hope these antibiotics work. I really feel like crap.

1. Curl up with some nice hot tea.
Keep yourself warm. Watch a corny old movie. Know that people are thinking of you.:hug:

2. If you've been on antibiotics for 3 days and don't already feel better
you should call your doctor.

3. anitbiotics will work
i had the same thing after i got out of the hospital about a month ago.

i was laid up for a week.

darvocet or any other opiate derivative can alleviate much of the pain.

5. I'm sorry you're not feeling well.
I hope the medicine will work quickly and you'll spring back to 100%

And if it makes you feel better, I lied. That picture I sent--it is not an optical illusion. B-)

7. I just got over an ear infection.
You have my sympathy. :hug: and a hug.

I hope you feel better soon. I hope you have someone there giving you tea and comfort food.

Be careful about your balance. People tend to overestimate how balance and stability when they have ear infectins.

An ear infection in both ears... that must suck really, really bad :( Don't skip any antibiotics and drink lots of fluids and watch cheesy movies or something. I hope you feel better very soon.

10. Take it from me
If they give you the option of either Cipro Drops or the cyclosporin, go with the Cipro. I waited and went with the weaker stuff and I ended up just like you, I got the Cipro and it knocked that son of bitch right out!

12. The Antibiotic
that I'm taking is called Clavulan. It's the first time I've ever tried it. Also Sofracort ear drops. I really hope these drugs do the trick. I'm in such misery. I can't drink for TEN whole days! That relly smarts..........
