An ear infection HURTS! If it is the most common variety, otitis media, you need antibiotics. It is possible to treat otitis externa with drops, but only your doctor can say which you have
It sounds like an ear infection and the only way to truly get rid of them is antibiotics. I would go see a doctor soon! The longer you wait the worse it will get, and may even rupture your ear drum, which takes longer to heal! Go see a doctor and get on some antibiotics!
Best of luck to you!
I think you should go to the dr...
hope you feel better...
I think you may. You may want to ask a pharmicist and see what they would reccomend. If not, you may want to go to the doctor. See if it get worse, it may go away, but keep an eye out on it, and try talking to a pharmacist at Walgreens/and or CVS to see if they know of any medicine that may help.
Hope it feels better!
There are solutions you can buy OCD.
When I had ear aches, my mother filled a tea spoon with olive oil, heated it with a match and poured it in my ear while I was laying down with the ear up. After 10-15 minutes, she placed a cloth on the bed so that I could let the ear drain onto the cloth. It always worked.
Energic has a product called Oticom. It works great for ear infections if you dont want to go to the dr. You get it from a health food store. Call around first for someone in your area. Some times Chiros sell it if they are NDs as well.
You can also put some hyrdogen peroxide in your ear when you lay down on your side. It will fiz... do both ears , repeat until the fiz goes away.
Yes I think you do have an ear infection. I had an ear infection when I experienced the same things as you are. There is really nothing to substitute for the pharamcy's antibotics. So you need to go to the doctor, but in the mean time mix some distilled water and white vinegar together to make a solution that you can put drops in your ears at a time. This should make your ear feel a little better. Try tugging on your ear if it hurts than you have swimmer's ear, which is an easier infection to treat.
Well obviously....if it hurts and it has been bugging you for 2-3 days why in the hell are you sitting at a computer asking the nation when you should be asking a doctor??!!
go to the doc. last time i overlooked ear pain, i ended up with a major infection nearly spreading to my brain. had to have most of my mastoid bone removed. not trying to scare you. just let your gp peek at your ear and see what's in there.
did u get earfucked?
