Question by moe520_71104: How long does it typically take for a middle ear infection to clear up once I start using Amoxil?
I started taking the antibiotic on 9.3.07 and my symptoms are *almost* completely gone but I take my last dosage tomorrow and was wondering if the symptoms should be COMPLETELY gone by now. I would think after almost a week of antibiotics I would not have ANY symptoms left.

It should be completely gone by now. Both of my daughters used this medication for ear infections. The older one had hers clear up within a couple of days. However, the younger one not only did not improve but also broke out in a purple rash. It turned out she was allergic to this antibiotic.

It should have cleared up some in 24 hours, almost completely in 48. Your doctor may want to prescribe a z-pack for you (azythromycin) to knock out what remains.
First thing I would say is – always finish a course of antibiotics. No matter how good (or bad) you feel.The reason you still have some symtoms is because the bacterial infection in your ear caused tissue damage. Thats where the symtoms come from in the first place. You may well havealready killed off the bacteria in your ear but your body is still repairing the tissue damage. Hence, you still have a little pain. Trust your doc, a week of broad spectrum antibiotics such a amoxil should be enough to sort the problem. If in a week you are still having trouble or if the pain gets worse then go back to the doctor.
