Earache (cont.)

Next Steps

Follow-up

People with earache caused by ear infection should have follow-up care with their doctors to insure that the infection has completely gone away.

• A follow-up appointment is scheduled 1-3 weeks after starting treatment, depending on the severity of the condition and other factors.

• Take all medications, as prescribed, and finish the prescription, as directed.

NOTE: Ear infections often will return if only partially treated. Do not stop the course of treatment even though symptoms are relieved.
