Ok, for the last four years-since I was 23-I have been getting ear infections. Before this I had only had one ear infection when I was about 4 years old. I assumed that ear infections were a childhood thing.
Anyway, my right ear is the one that keeps getting infected over and over again. I get an ear infection every few months, the last one being about three months ago. Now, my ear is AGAIN infected! I have some medicine left over from the last time...I never follow the "take till gone" thing because 1)Drug companies just say that so you'll have to buy more of their product; and 2)We can't afford health insurance and need to "save" meds whenever we can...do you guys think that if I take what's left of this medicine it will make this infection go away?
Also, why does my ear keep getting infected over and over again? And does anyone have any suggestions on what to do for the pain and fever? I don't want to overdue the painkillers. Also, how high does a fever have to be before its considered dangerous? Mine is at 102.5 right now.
Yes, I'm full of questions.
