What are the next diagnostic and treatment steps for a patient experiencing a right-sided earache, watery ear discharge, and a runny nose for three days that have failed to improve despite taking oral azithromycin, fexofenadine, and antibiotic ear drops?

Since the oral azithromycin and antibiotic ear drops haven't helped, it is possible this is a viral infection or fluid is trapped behind your eardrum, which antibiotics cannot cure. The most important next step is to have a doctor examine your ear with an otoscope to check the eardrum. For temporary relief, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and apply a warm compress to your ear. Nasal saline sprays can also help drain the fluid. Please see a healthcare provider soon for a proper evaluation.
