Ear infection
I had a flight on Monday (working as cabin crew). When landing I had a pain in my ear and it has been blocked since. On my way home I had liquid in my ear and later on realised that there are stains of blood too. Tuesday morning went to doctor. He said its ear infection and I should be ready to fly after 48hrs, prescribed Amoxicillin. My ear is still blocked and I have to work tomorrow. How safe is it? What might be the consequences? Is my eardrum already broken? How can i prevent it breakin
