Ear infection
I was diagnosed with an ear infection 3 days ago by my primary care doctor. He prescribed me a 10 day antibiotic treatment. It's my 3rd day of treatment but my ear still feels clogged and I have partial hearing. How long does it take for my hearing to come back? Also I have a flight in 4 days.. should I be worried ?
