There are ways to relieve symptoms associated with ear infections â like ear pain â whether or not antibiotics are needed. Consider using acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve pain or fever. Ask your healthcare professional or pharmacist what medications are safe for you or your loved one to take. Antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, are used to treat severe ear infections or ear infections that last longer than 2â3 days. If your child has a fever of 102.2Â°F (39Â°C) or higher, discharge or fluid coming from the ear, symptoms are much worse, or symptoms last for more than two or three days for AOM, you should contact your healthcare professional.
The duration of your bacterial ear infection will depend on where the infection has occurred and how severe it is. If your infection is in either the middle or outer ear but is fairly mild, it should clear up without treatment or with antibiotics within a week or two. If your infection is in the ear canal (called swimmer's ear), you should wait at least 10 days before exposing your ears to water again. If your infection is serious or chronic or if the fluid build-up doesn't go away with the infection, you may experience symptoms for considerably longer.
