It is advisable to see you DOCTOR with all of the above or a Nurse Specialist Ear Clinic.
If you have a local children's Mobile Ear Clinic in your area, your Dr will refer you to the clinic for ear cleaning/treatment to help clear the infection and allow medication to get into the ear.
If your area has a public hospital Ear Nose and Throat Department, you may be referred in there for ear cleaning and treatment.
