  • How long does it take an ear infection to go away?

    Sorry you are not feeling well. What needs to be considered is how long you have had symptoms and when you were diagnosed with an ear infection. Typically after you are diagnosed with an ear infection, your doctor would tell you what to expect based on their evaluation of you and their management plan. Your doctor would also give you precautions on returning if you are not getting better within a certain timeframe. It would not be appropriate for me to provide you with a specific expectation of disease course without an evaluation and medical history, as the length of ear infections are variable and depend on multiple factors including the location of the infection (inner, middle vs outer); your immune system, medical co-morbidities etc. I would recommend following up with the provider who diagnosed you in case you need to be re-evaluated.
