Hi doctor, I had an outer ear infection about three to four weeks ago. I scratched the inside of my ear with a Q-tip, and within two days it had swollen completely and shut. I went to Urgent Care and was prescribed with a 10-day course of Augmentin and ear drops. Three days after starting these medicines my other ear too was swollen and blocked. The next, my doctor prescribed steroids and Levofloxacin. Then it got better after eight days. On a ninth day, when I wake up, my right hand is swollen significantly without any trauma, and the pain in my knuckles was pretty severe. It woke me up at about 4 AM. About three days after that, I start getting on and off fever between 99.1 and 102.1 degrees Fahrenheit. The pain moves up into forearm, shoulder, neck, and migraines occurring on the right side. I am feeling fatigue, extremely dizzy and vision going black and almost falling over just from standing up. I have been extremely thirsty but not urinating a lot. Also, I have hep C since three years.
