I have constant ringing in both ears, my balance is off, I am dizzy ears have occasional shooting pain. Went to an express care facility was told I have and ear infection. was given ear drops to put in 4 times a day.I have done this for 2 days and it seems worse. I may need to go back. ears feel weighted.
Hello, it seems local antibiotic you took is not working on your ear infection. What is the antibiotic you are using? There are several reasons for the persistent symptoms. Maybe the antibiotic is not sensitive for the bug.  Other thing is even if the infection is settled edema and inflammation inside the middle ear take few weeks to settle. So vertigo and dizziness may take few was to fade.  Any way if the infection not settling we have to do culture Pabst of the ear discharge. Sometimes fungal infections also produce similar symptoms. But the treatment differs. Hope this helps.thank you
