we've been dealing with the same thing with my daughter for 7 months-- she required oral clindamyacin and ciprodex drops to get any relief b/c her staph infection turned out to be mrsa. its been a very expensive nightmare. we also did a day in the or for the doc to irrigate the ear canal and check for polyps. <link> <link> <link>
i was recently diagnosed with an inner ear infection with a perforated ear drum and an aspergillus infection. i was prescibed amoxicillin/potasium clav 875-125mg twice a day z-pack was not working and clotrimazole topical 1% twice a day in the ear for the aspergillus. the pa stated the drops would not work as well with the puss in the ear and told me to go ahead and gently remove the pus with a q-tip. i removed a sold chunk of aspergillus that was covering the eardrum. the clotrimazole got through the perforated ear drum and my inner ear has an intense burning sensation in it. recommendations?
