Question: I think i have an ear infection should i wait or go to the doctor.?
I think I may have an ear infection (my ear is all clogged up and every once in a while it hurts and its been like this for about a day and nothing will pop it) but my school's health center is closed on the weekends. So my question is should I just wait and go monday morning or go to the hospital today.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
My daughter frequently has this problem. It is usually caused by congestion (which can also cause an ear infection). You may want to try some good decongestants, but if the pain gets severe, go to doctor right away because if you wait too long, you can rupture your ear drum which will lead to hearing loss.

Best of luck,
