Answers:
If you know that the infection is not going to spread or get worse, the best way is to try not to think about it!. Do something to get it off off your mind!. Watch TV, take a walk along the park, call your friends, taking a nap, a hot shower and just about anything really!. And if you don't know anything about it try to find out more about it and what you can do to relieve the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Really the right thing to do is to go to the doctors and go get it checked out!. If not it could get worse and it depends on where you live if you go swimming alot you could have swimmer's ear, which is an infection of the ear by bacteria of pools!. Say if a toddler pee's in the pool and you swim in it without drying your ear after you get out of he pool, the bacteria will go in and infect your ear!. So for now before you go to the doctors just take some tylenol or moltirin to relieve the pain!. if you have gone to the doctors use it any way !. Hope this helps!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got an ear infection 2 weeks ago and it hasn't quite gone!

I found taking ibuprofuren, then two hour gap, then paracetamol, then two hour gap, then ibuprofuren etc etc (not exceeding daily doses) helped IMMENSELY but the antibiotics did the job the best!.!. but i think it was viral so it might just have got better on its own while i was on antib's!.!. good luck, get better soon!

ANY SORT OF PAINKILLER! (Ones with anti-inflammatories are best eg!. ibuprofuren) xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

One remedy is to puncture a vitamin E capsule and apply the oil inside to the area!. Another is to use a cold compress!. Of course aspirin and other OTS pain relievers are an answer!.

However, unless you are very confident that the cause is minor, that can be a symptom of a more serious condition requiring immediate medical care!.

Use a cotton ball with a little bit of alcohol to disinfect it!. It may hurt a bit at first, but with less infection, there will be less pain later!. Your goal is not so much as to keep it painless as much as it is to keep it clean!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
