Can a pharmacist prescribe antibiotics for an ear infection, or do you absolutely need to see a doctor?

It is possible for a pharmacist to prescribe antibiotics for certain types of ear infections, such as swimmer's ear. However, for other forms of otitis, it is necessary to see a doctor in order to receive appropriate treatment. If you are unsure about the type of ear infection you have, it is recommended to consult with your pharmacist first, who can then guide you to see a doctor if needed.
