Middle Ear Infection

Can Doxycycline be used to treat a middle ear infection? This is my second round of antibiotics. Was given Cefdinir first for 7 days & it helped but the infection is still hanging around. I dont want to keep taking multiple antibiotics. They were gonna give me Augmentin but I was concerned about my stomach because I heard it can be rough on the stomach. Will the Doxycycline help? Or should I have requested something else?

REPORT

It is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Yes. They gave me Augmentin 875 to take and I only took 3 pills and could not take anymore. I believe those pills made me ill. I felt loopy and kinda out of it. My face and neck got numb, I had really bad digestive issues like severe burning in my chest and stomach(which is slowly getting better, but I am still dealing with that) and my eyes, nose and mouth got really dry. I have had to start putting eye ointment in at night and using artificial tears to help my eyes because my vision became very blurry. I have been off of that medication for a week and I am still suffering from the symptoms. Could Augmentin cause those type of symptoms?
