Suggest Remedy For Painful Ears
My 13 year old son was playing basketball today with his older brother when his ear was slammed into his brother s shoulder. It is very painful. (He also has conjestion from a cold.) How do we stop the pain so he can sleep. I can get him to DR. tomorrow. Thank you.

Thanks for your query. I have gone gone through your query.
The pain in the ear can be because of the impact following the trauma or it can be because of a fractured bone in the temporomandibular joint. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph like OPG to confirm the diagnosis. Mean while you can take systemic analgesics like ibuprofen for the pain.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
