Anti biotics. Infection

I am having problems with a ear infection. And now need anti biotics. I have amoxycyline which I have had before, but initially doctor gave me anti biotics which make tinnitus worse clarithomycin- the chemist confirmed it wasn't good. And I got a prescription for amox am only on my second day of amox and I know it takes three days to knock this out, but scared its not working, though there's no reason why it shouldn't. but have others had problems with anti biotics, and if so was it just a spike or totally changing, which were ok.

I suggest you go to another chemist and ask for for a mild antibiotic for your condition. I had a mild ear infection last year, but my Doctor said he couldn't prescribe antibiotic s for it. However, there is one antibiotic you can buy over the counter....I think is called "Earix " which I bought for around five pounds and it got rid of the infection .

Furthermore, you must not scratch your Ear if possible as it does not help.

Best regards, Petajoan.

Are you willing to try something alternative, for me is always effective and way to avoid antibiotics wherever possible! Last years I had 7 courses of antibiotics for my ear and sinus infection which totally messed my immune system and I am still recovering!

YouTube is good to see treatments with food grade 3% hydrogene peroxide and also Collodial Silver ACS200

Take care:)
