I have had fluid in my inner ear for a month after a bout of sinusitis,?!
Question: I was on two courses of Biaxin, but this of course didnt affect the fluid, symptoms are soreness only, and a feeling of fullness in both ears, I wouldnt worry but I have to start flying with my job at the end of the month and can remember how painful this was previously with a sinus infection. Please help

Before seeing an ENT, you may just want to attempt to clear it yourself with a round of OTC decongestants, whichever works best for you personally. This can be done by a general doctor as well, no need to wait for an appointment with a specialist.
The doctor will more than likely prescribe you another round of antibiotics, decongestants and possibly steroids to help with the fluid in your ears. This should totally clear within the next couple of weeks, so your flying won't be a problem.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, God bless.
See an ENT as soon as you can. Fluid can also lead to other ear-related illness that make you dizzy, nauseous and really sick.
