It is good that the antibiotic reduced your pain and discharge, but persistent pain behind the ear after 3 days of Amoxyclav (amoxicillin-clavulanate) suggests you should see an ear specialist (otolaryngologist) promptly for further evaluation.

🩺 What This Likely Means

• The ongoing pain could indicate incomplete resolution of infection, possible spread to nearby tissues, or complications like mastoiditis (infection of the bone behind the ear).
• Stopping antibiotics early can risk worsening infection or resistance, so completing the prescribed course is important unless advised otherwise by a doctor.

🩺 Recommended Next Steps

• Consult an otolaryngologist as soon as possible for a thorough ear examination and possibly imaging to assess the extent of infection.
• Avoid self-medicating or stopping antibiotics without medical advice.
• Keep the ear dry and avoid inserting anything into the ear canal.
• If you develop fever, swelling behind the ear, worsening pain, or dizziness, seek emergency care immediately.
