time to see an ent and take the evaluation and treatment to a higher level.
ear ache continues for weeks after ear infection & antibiotics episode. my son had an ear infection first week of july 2014. his pediatrician prescribed antibiotics (ear drops). after a week or so the swelling came down and my son was fine. we still ensured that the antibiotics is used for the entire prescribed period. however ever since that infection episode my son has been complaining of ear ache if something presses the ears - like helmet etc. it doesn't pain all the time only when it is pressed.
