I am on prednisolone 30 mg every other day and Azathioprine 50 mg Morning and 100 mg evening to manage polymyositis. I am suffering from cavity and pain in my first molar right lower jaw since 15 for fifteen days and radiate to my right ear and feeling constant pain inside my ear. I took paracetamol 500 mg and then acetofenac 100 mg for pain at night and 100 mg acetofenac in the morning to get relief. I noticed some blood inside of my ear at night which I cleaned with cotton buds and there is no more blood noticed after that but I felt great after that. Now I want to know if I can take some antibiotics to fight this infection if yes, then what antibiotic should I take, what should be the appropriate dose, what should be the frequency and duration of the treatment along with painkillers.

You may have got ear infection which is aggravated or may be overlapped with your tooth related pain. You have to be sure about your problem so that proper treatment can be sought without any delay. You need to visit an ENT specialist first then to a dentist. Tooth related pain can be corrected based on 3 treatment options, that is restoration/ fillings, RCT or extraction. Improper use of antibiotics can lead to more severe infections which will cost more time energy and money. So act wisely.
