On my second ear infection in a month, the doctor has prescribed me some Ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone drops today so I'm hoping they kick in soon. I had some ciprofloxacin drops and micro suction last month and thought it had cleared but it came back with a vengeance this week. Pulsating headache on the side with the infection, taking paracetamol but it's not touching the sides. I set it off swimming in holiday in May I think. Has anyone else been more prone to ear infections in pregnancy? I've had infections treated with otomize in the past but the GP said Ciprofloxacin is stronger.
