    I was wondering if I can take something for ear pain while on an antibiotic
    I went to the dr today and I have strep throat, The dr looked at my ears and said they were fine I was put on keflex 2 time per day for 10 days, Now after having taken 2 doses of the antibiotic my right ear is plugged and hurts. I was wondering if there was something I can take to help it while on the antibiotic
