Arghh. Have not slept a bit last night, in agony with ear pain. I think it's an ear infection, never had one before but the symptoms fit. Intense ear pain, won't pop, feels 'full', some thin watery discharge. Even my jaw hurts to move. I've taken the max paracetamol I can for 24 hours and the hot compress isn't helping much. Any suggestions for how to manage the next ten hours or so? Bearing in mind I'll be in a car for about four of them. Also how long can I expect this pain to go on for?? Sorry for being a wuss, I've got such a low pain threshold...
