General Surgeon 's  Response
HI. Motrin will not be sufficient alone to cure ear pain and tenderness in ear canal. With the history same as yours , I would like to add an antibiotic orally, for the correct doses you have to visit ans follow your Doctor's advise. Hot fomentation does help to ease pain.
