I had some small stuffiness for a week which lead into ear pain that radiates into my jaw and neck. My node is swollen and my pcp diagnosed an inflamed Eustachian tube and possible early sinus infection Monday. I just took my last pill of a z-pack and feel no better. The pain is worse at the end of the day and especially when I lay down. Z-pack, nasal spray, Zyrtec, muciniex dm and ibuprofen daily (spread thru the day). Oh and ambien at night to help sleep. And took an Vicodin last night and now from hip surgery in June to help with pain with minor improvement. Is it too early to expect significant improvement? Or should I get this looked at again tomorrow?
