Ear Pain

Probably a stupid ? but I went to the dr last week because I had a tooth infection they put me on Keflex 500mg take 3 on the first day and then 1 two times a day after for 9 days. The tooth is feeling much better but now for the last 2 and half days my ear on the same side has been hurting and getting worse I am still on the ATB for the tooth so if my ear is infected now shouldn't this ATB be helping it or could it be something else oh yeah my insurance just lapsed too so I can't go back to the dr or afford any more medicine

Sounds like this infected tooth is affecting the ear/causing pain.  I am not sure about any infection going on with the ear too.  

Have you tried any OTC medications, eg. Motrin/Ibuprofen, Advil, etc.?

Not much other advice I can give but to see your physician, especially if you are pregnant.

All the best.
