Earache

Ds 7yo was up most of the night crying in pain.

But we have to know 24hr in advance that we are sick with our doctors, so can't get him a appointment till tomorrow afternoon.

His ear looked really red last night.

He has no temp ect just earache. I have given him capol but to no avail he is still in pain.

What else could I do to help him?
What might it be?. This isnt the first time he has had this but don't get told much by doctors as to why?.

Hor water bottle on the effected ear, and calpol and ibroprofin.

Chances are the doctor will just look and say "yes, ear infection, come back if it doesn't clear" if you're in on the first day. Book the appointment for tomorrow and cancel it if he's better. If he's had it 24 hours then you may get antibiotics if it looks bad, I doubt they'd give you anything today unless he has history.
