Question: I am 27 and i've had an ear infection since march. i used some ear drops i had and i used them on and off until i finally went to the dr. on April 26 and she prescribed me eardrops that i used right this time for 10 days. I still had a little bit of pain i thought it would go away but just got worse. I went to a different dr. May 25 and she gave me a shot of antibiotic (ances) and a 5 day treatment of Z PACK. My ear got better, but again little by little pain started to come. It is constant but I get the most pain when i yawn, hiccup or birp. When I do any of these it feels like its going to burst. I went back to the original dr. and said i no longer had an infection, but she could see a lot of white stuff that was possibly leftover from the eardrops. She did a wash and most of it came out. However my ear still hurt so I went to another dr. for something else and asked him to check my ear, I told him everything from before and he also said he saw a little bit of the white stuff (eardrop medicine) and said that my eardrum was not pink that it was white. He had me pinch my nose and blow and said that my eardrum wasn't moving at all. He told me to see an ENT, but my appointment is not until August 22. I cannot wait that long the pain gets worse by the day. Please help.

Is there anything over the counter or homemade remedies that I can take until I see an ENT because my appointment is until August. So it can still be an infection even though the last two doctors said I no longer had one.
