Well the painkillers I've been prescribed will help to clear up the infection (that's what the doctor said!)

It's got something in it apparently that will help clear up the infection!

Re: Went to the doctors today


I would go back to the doctors and ask for antibiotics,i have never heard of them being treated with just painkillers,and ive never heard of a painkiller that has something in it that treats infections.
I suffer with ear infections,i get at least 3 a year and have done from the age of 2,all of them are always treated with antibiotics.
I dont mean to scare you but if this infection goes untreated it could lead to a perforated eardrum which may require surgery (i had to have surgery on my left ear due to a perforation and my right ear is still perforated) or permanent hearing problems.
I seriously would go back and ask for antibiotics

Re: Went to the doctors today


A bit better!

I've had a look at the packaging and the painkillers have anti-inflammatry properties apparently (according to the packaging)
