I've been dealing with otitis media for about a week now and have been taking Augmentin 625 Duo and Crocin for it. There was this wheatish discharge from my ear, then some watery stuff came out, and that made the fullness in my ear go away for a bit. But now, after a week, I'm feeling that fullness again in the same ear. I'm still on Augmentin and doing some steam inhalation. So, I'm wondering how often should I be doing the steam inhalation thing and how long should each session be? Also, how long does it usually take to completely recover from otitis media? And do you have any tips on how I can prevent it from coming back?

I've had this throat infection for over a month now, and even after visiting an ENT and being on antibiotics for a week, it feels like things aren't improving. There's still some granulation in my posterior pharyngeal area, and I'm not seeing any real change there. I stopped smoking a couple of months ago, which I thought might help. Should I keep trying home remedies? I'm getting a sore throat every morning but no other symptoms. Any advice on what I should do next?

That could be due to allergy consume warm foods and identify the triggering factor and avoid it
