Sometimes the ear infection may last up 1-2 weeks, all depends on the cause of the ear infection and the choice of antibiotics to be used to treat.

The course of treatment for a bacterial ear infection is 10 days. Most children stop experiencing pain after 24 hours on an antibiotic.

Pain usually last 3-4 days with treatment but they need to finish the full treatment so it is fully treated and less likely to come right back
