Hey guys,
I've been in absolutely agony for 4 days now. I went the drs 2 days ago and they prescribed me flucloxacillin, which was my worse nightmare because I really didn't want to be the mum who is taking medication during pregnancy 😪 I am still in agony and the antibiotics are not working. I'm taking paracetamol every 4 hours but I am really down, I'm not sleeping and I've also had to have time off from my new job.
Has anyone else had a ear infection during pregnancy and what treatments have the used?
Praying that it clears by tomorrow, and wishing the time away to see by baby again on the USS to put my mind at rest 🙏 😪

Sorry you're feeling so crap! Have you tried a hot compress on your ear to ease the pain a bit? Like a hot water bottle/wheat bag?
No other advice I'm afraid 😔

Try going to a ear doctor I have one now and she's helping me cope with the pain

I have tried a water bottle, it helps with the pain but then it makes it more swollen! Where can I find an ear dr in the UK?

I wouldn’t say mine was an ear infection but I did go through a phase of having really severe ear aches and it just cleared up on its own but I did panic a bit - hope you do get better soon x
