Middle ear infection?!


Question: Middle ear infection?
Heya, I went to the doctors on friday and he said that I had a middle ear infection. The pain came about on wednesday night in my left ear and then the night day it was in both ears. On thursday night i woke to find a lot of gunk in my right ear. I also cannot hear very well. I told this to the doctor and he said that as it was the weekend he would give me antibiotics however, it may be viral and I would have to wait. I have to go back in 2 weeks if it has not cured also.

So yeah, I still have pain in both ears (however, not as bad as the other day). I still cannot hear very well either. Also, when I swallow in my left ear I can sort of hear waves and they both pop slightly.

Are there any home remedies that anyone would recommend I try? I mean, I have backstage passes to a concert on tuesday so I want to be well. I really want to go!

I would also light to add that I am 15 and the ear ache has been accompanied by a sore throat and nasal discharge.

Please help!!! Thank you :)

I had this a few weeks ago and is still clearing up, (takes a while)
Don't worry too much, unless your ears keep popping and you feel slightly nauseas and dizzy, that's how I felt when it first came. I didn't have any treatment or anything. But just use some ear drops, avoid using earphones when listening to music, etc don't touch your ears and never stick things in them.

Drink plenty of water and stuff too.
