I have a very sore ear

And I won't get a doctors appointment today for love nor money.

it's been ramping up for about a week and now it is throbbing and hot and very very sore.

What can I do?

I'm taking ibuprofen and I have a hot water bottle on it.

Sad feel a bit nauseous and miserable.

If you can't get an appointment at your dr surgery wait until it closes and then call the out of hours dr.

I know this sounds daft but is it your ear on the outside, or inside your ear? Confused

fluffythevampirestabber · 21/10/2011 20:12

inside at my ear drum but not deep in my eustachian tube does that make sense?

It feels a bit better since I put the ear calm in it. So hoping it'll work but if it's not better by the morning I'm going to the OOH doc
