Suggest A Remedy To Manage Pain In The Ears Due To Infection

Hello, I have had the cold for over a week now, just four days ago I found I had an ear infection in my right ear. However, suddenly this morning, the pain was gone. After a few minutes, my left ear started hurting, and I guessed the infection had passed onto this ear. I went to the doctors today and she also said it was an ear infection, so she prescribed me with amoxicillin to take 3 times a day for a week. My left ear is hurting so much, i have had ibuprofen, hedex, sudafed, paracetamols and have pressed a heat pad onto my infected ear, nothing has worked, I cannot sleep either, is there anything i can do to ease the pain right away?
Thankyou

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in the ears due to infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take antibiotics. Maintain ear clean and don't prick it with any sharp object. Avoid blowing if you have nose infection as well as it can lead to fall of mucus in throat and further infection. You should put nasal decongestant drops and nasonex nasal sprays as well. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper examination. You should go for otoscopic examination and get audimetery testing done as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
