I had flu in December, which then turned into a chest infection ( prescribed antibiotics and steroids).
Then about a month ago had an earache with pain into side of face ( have felt head full of fluid and pretty deaf in that way - Otis externa) was prescribed Otomize spray. Pain gone, but I'm still pretty deaf and ear is bubbly.
If I still have fluid in ear will the infection come back and any suggestions on how to clear ear ?

Thanks in anticipation as I don't want to take up an appointment / bother Dr.

DS had a similar ear infection, similar timeline. He's been back for a swab & more antiB drops.
