Horrendous ear ache

[lucsnowe]

Does anyone have any tips? I have taken paracetamol and ibuprofen about twenty minutes ago but the pain is still dreadful. I have also tried resting my head on a hot water bottle but that only seems to have made it worse. Thank you!

The strongest painkillers the doctor will prescribe in the morning. It's dreadful isn't it Emergency appt if you must

Don't put anything in it (people usually suggest olive oil or something)

As tempting as a hot toddy may be I find alcohol makes it worse - something about blood flow or something

Grit your teeth. Hope you feel better soon!

Terrible, you have my sympathy, hope you can see doc asap

Thank you, bookcase! I will do my best to get an emergency appointment tomorrow. Not always easy at our surgery but I will stress the pain (which is genuine).

Thank you purplewithred!
