Question by FreakMunky: How long does Cipro take to clear up an Ear Infection?
I started taking 500mg Cipro 2x daily yesterday, so it has not been 48 hours yet.
Fever gone, but the throbbing ear pain has turned into a sometimes sudden stabbing pain, & more popping.
I take that as the fluid moving, but when will it clear up so I can hear clearly again?

Takes a few days if it’s bacterial. Be sure to finish the medicine as directed, even if you feel better, or it will come back. If the infection is viral, the Cipro won’t cure it, but is just a precaution. Then count on 10 days to 2 weeks for your own defenses to overwhelm the virus. Ask your doctor, but a decongestant often helps.
