thanks so much for your reply! i've not been perscribed something called motronidazole, but im not sure how it will help any more than the amoxacillin, im not sleeping very well still, infact last night was possible the most painful so far, the pain was not only in my head and ear etc but spread up to my eye and inner cheek area, and it hurt when i inhaled, im worried the infection could be spreading or something, also im meant to be going on holiday tomorrow im feeling pretty let down by the system
