Ear Infection - Ear Pain

[caladin]

My girlfriend seems to have picked up a dual ear infection and does not have medical. Short of going to the doctors and getting taken for hundreds of $$ just so the doc can say take antibiotics can anyone recommend any ideas? I wish we could just run down to the local Pharm and get what we need like the can in Mexico but that’s not the case.

Thanks

if she has two ear infections she needs antibiotics bro. those infections get too bad and you can lose hearing permanently. trust me, it happened to me - nerve damage.

i second what Tman said!!

Infections NEED to be treated with antibiotics!!!

You have (2) options here...

1) do some online research and find a treatment (antibiotic) and see if you can order direct from one of the online pharmacies.
2) go to the hospital and apply for "charity care" This applies to someone with no insurance and no monetary means to pay the bills. They will treat her and pay for all her bills if she qualifies... If she has some income, they will work out a payment plan.

She can NOT go untreated!! The ears and hearing is NOT something to play with and an infection of the sort will NOT go away on its own, but rather get worse! So get her taken care of asap!

i used to get single ear infections a lot when i was a kid (lost hearing in left ear), antibotics is the only way. go to a walk in clinic, pay the 80 dollar checkup fee, and then ask for samples of the antibotics, they usually store a bunch of samples that they will give out if u ask.
