Generally, an adult recovers from an ear infection within the first week of antibiotics. However, because it is dark and wet inside an ear, bacteria may be harder to treat. It may take 2 full courses of antibiotic to completely kill the bacteria. Also, Allergies and common colds can cause ear infections which antibiotics will not treat.
