Default Pain relief for an inner ear infection? - 01-04-2009, 08:04 AM

I have an inner ear infection and my doctor didnt give me any meds for pain. Today was my last day on my antibiotics. It is relatively late now and my mom is in bed. As I write this I am in tears from the excruciating pain. I dont really want to wake her up but my ear is killing me. Any suggestions. Is this ER worthy or wait it out?I have been taking advil and it isnt helping.

Try liquid advil, 2 pills, and hot rag compresses. I know that is painful.

i was going to say tylenol but don't think that would help...hummm maybe you can go to the emergency room it could get bad or go to the walk in clinic tomorrow first thing... if not wake your mom up you have to if it really hurts.

Try an anti-inflammatory (like Advil). Press a hot damp cloth over the affected ear and rest it there for a while. Stay AWAY from anything loud. No TV especially. If the pain doesn't lessen soon, and you are still in tears, go to an urgent care clinic if one is available, if not, I would wake up mom and get her advice.

Hot pack or blow it with a blow dryer on low heat. The pediatricians say do that for a baby with an earache.
