I went to the doctor today because I was woken this morning at 5am with the worst pain in my ear I've ever felt. He diagnosed me with a severe infection and gave me some antibiotics.
I am also taking a prescription cough medicine with codiene in it.
However, the pain in my ear has not subsided at all. It's affecting everything.. I'm dizzy, it hurts to swallow and I can't even lie down. I had a nap this afternoon sitting in my LA-Z-BOY and even that was difficult.
Does anyone have any home remedies for ear aches? I know I have to wait for the antibiotics to kick in to get the ear to drain, but in the meantime, I'm in agony. I have been taking Advil but it's not even touching the ear (it is helping my throat). I'm going to get some Tylenol tonight as well and see if that will help. I've got a heating pad as well.
Any help would be appreciated.. thanks!
