Mastoiditis

Hi, at the end of October, I was diagnosed with mastoiditis. I was hospitalized, and had 6 weeks of antibiotic therapy and I am still on oral antibiotics. My dr. says he wants to wait about a month before he decides that I need surgery to remove the infection. I have complained that my ear still feels sore to the touch and inside too. It's a very sharp, burning pain.
I am not sure what to do next. I don't know if I need a second opinion. I don't know if I should go ahead and have the surgery.
Any advice?

Hi and welcome.

I agree with cl-cyster-if surgery is being discussed-get a second opinion!
