I have been taking a course of amoxicillin for this ear infection. They seem to be working as symptoms are progressively going away but I am getting very light headed and dizzy off them. Is it the amoxicillin doing this ? I am taking 3 a day
Hi, good to see the cause for your symptoms has been detected and that you are feeling better. It could be an external ear infection, it is referred to as otitis externa. The infecting agents are bacteria, fungi and viral. Bacterial infections need antibiotics and fungal antifungal agents. Viral infections are by exclusion and do not need any antibiotic therapy. Ensure to finish your antibiotic course and follow up with your doctor. Take care.
Just incase anyone stumbles across this post and has the same symptoms I went to the doctors yesterday and he is happy to say it is an ear infection he had a look and said that there was a small amount of build up and taken a swab to get tested. He has given me a course of antibiotics and it does seem to be working as last night lay down I hardly felt anything and today also seems to be an improvement
