Best to call the doctor. His advice depends on how informed he is, however.
Zithromax is a better choice. Also for sinus and ear, Cefzil works well.
Sometimes ear pain is just pressure and noninfected fluid. So an antibiotic
doesn't help that. Carefully inflating the eustachian tubes may help reduce fluid pressure. Drink alot of water and use guaifenesin in Robitussin or Mucinex may help get the congestion down.
To inflate the tubes, close off your nostrils and gently blow to pop your ears.
Do not do it hard, or if you feel pain.
