Best Answer

The most likely guess is recurrance of the Strep. There are quite a few strains of Strep that are paritally or completely resistant to normal antibiotics -- see Methacillin Resistant Stapphlocuccus epidermis (MRSE) or Methacillin Resistant Stapphlocuccus aureus (MRSA) The same can apply to Streptococcus. Give a call to the Doctor Who prescribed for you the first time, and tell him it didn't work. He may want to see you, buyt he'll certainly prescribe something else. If you repost, please include the name of the antibiotic you were taking.

Can an ear infection cause pain outside the ear and cause a swollen face?

Absolutely. An infection typically causes swelling and pain, and if it is not treated, or if the antibiotic is not working quickly enough, the swelling and pain can spread. Another common ailment that causes swelling and pain on the face could be a tooth infection. If you have not seen a doctor already, please do so as soon as you can, because infections spread if not treated, and can get into your blood and cause severe problems (plus, it's just going to hurt worse and worse).
