Question: What medicine is best to take/will help me the most!?
I saw a doctor today for a sorethroat and difficulty swallowing that I've had!. She also checked my ears!. About an hour after my appointment I started having pain in my ear, and difficulty hearing!. I can hear, but it's muffled!.
I'm thinking it's just built up fluid and pressure!. I currently have Aleve, Motrin IB, Tylenol Extra Strength, Tylenol cold and sinus (day and night formulas), and chlortrimeton!. Which one will be best for me to take tonight!?
I'd really like to be able to relieve the pressure and pain in my ear!. I don't know which meds will help with that!.
Btw, my throat thing is viral (strep test was negative)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of the medicines you have the Tylenol cold and sinus is the best!. Tomorrow you should got to the store and get some Robitussin DM it is the best decongestant just make sure you drink plenty of water with it!. You can also put a hot pack of some sort on your ear canal that will help things to drain!. A hot wash rag if nothing else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I get sinus problems from my allergies all the time!. When my ears clog i get a heating pad, roll it up, wrap a warm damp dishtowel around it and put it behind my ear as hot as i can stand!. That gets the gunk flowing for me!. The tylenon cold and sinus should help that loosening along!. i usually also put diluted tea tree oil in the ear but im thinking you dont have that!. If you dont have a heating pad roll up a towel and wrap a hot damp one around it!. You will have to keep reheating the towel but you can do it in the microwave!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Of the things you have right now, the Tylenol Cold & Sinus should have a decongestant, which should help relieve the pressure in your ear, as well as reduce the pain!. If the pressure doesn't subside soon, return to your doctor to avoid complications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Draining your nose with a saline solution (0!.9%) can help relieve the pressure!. If you do not have a fever and the doctor didn't find any clear signs of ear infection a warm dry compress can also help relieve the pain!.
Any cold medicine with a decongestant will most likely help, too!.
Overall, cold remedies like echinacea, plenty of warm liquid (but *not* black tea or coffee) with lemon juice and honey, gargling with eucalyptus oil (few drops in a glass of warm water), Ganmao Qingre Keli Tea should help you recover quickly and prevent the ear infection!.

you can find plenty of home remedies for ear ache but I have not tried most of them (there is a good tip on how to put together a warm compress without a hot water bottle, though!)
If pain persist or gets worse tomorrow or if you develop a fever talk to your doctor again - some times you can get otitis media as a complication from a regular cold!.

P!.S!. If you have no eucalyptus oil at home then 5 drops of tea tree oil will do the trick!. If this is not immediately available - half teaspoon of salt plus half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of pretty warm water!. Gargle at least 3 times a day, but no more than 4 (it can be too drying)!. If gargling makes your ear ache worse - just tilt your head back and try to swirl the solution in your throat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
