Is it normal that after a 7 day treatment with the antibiotic Biaxin, my ear is still very blocked following an otitis with perforated eardrum? I am finishing the antibiotics and I still have a sore throat too. Do I need to see my doctor again?

It is normal for the feeling of a "plugged" ear to last a few days after a perforated eardrum. Biaxin is usually effective in treating this type of infection. If the fever returns, I recommend consulting a doctor. Do you have an appointment with a doctor in the next 4-6 weeks to ensure your eardrum has healed?
