i been on antibiotic eardrops since yesterday i know its not really long enough for them to start working. I can only take paracetamol for the pain as im 41 weeks pregnant. Both ears are agony i been up all night and crying all day in pain its like the worst pain iv ever experienced and iv given birth before! Please can someone give me some good advice on how to sooth them before i get dp's drill out for a diy pressure fix. Iv tried hot water bottle only for it to make my head so hot it near popped off. :-(

I suffer with excema deep inside my ears and occassionally it flares up and becomes infected and have to have the anibiotic drops. Is it a skin infection you have? I every morning dab a cotton bud into sudocreme and wipe it quite deep in my ear to soothe the skin.

hmmm im not sure. They are very itchy but im also getting alot of pressure and some runny fluid which makes me think its not draining properly. I cant get a cotton bud in my ear as the hole is swollen and sore.

That is what happens with mine spongesrlovely. The pain is immense - huge sympathies. I used to dose myself with paracetamol and ibruprofen as it was so bad. and also hot. I would see the doc again and ask for anti B tablets, there must be some you can take?
