Chargerz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Whomp, ya did good by getting a second opinion! I talked to one of my ENT colleagues today, and he said if the ear drops don't help by 48-72 hours from now, you should contact her doctor again. Sometimes the antibiotic drops needs to be changed or antibiotic pills and additional drainage preocedures are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
