Thanks. My doctor perscribed a z-pack which was four days I think it was. Then I was still having pain mostly at night and kept playing phone tag with the office and they ended up perscribing prednisone. I haven't taken it though. The pharmacy clerk kind of scared me away from it with talk of jitters and maybe not being able to sleep at night. Anyway I mostly started feeling better, but sometimes when I ride, the wind makes it start aching and once in a while it wakes me up in the night with pain. It doesn't feel plugged up, just pain and sometimes pain shooting down to my jaw, teeth, or neck. I never knew ear infections hurt like that. I thought at first that I had a tooth ache and went to the dentist. I'll call again or take the prednisone if it continues.
