What do you recommend if i have a awful ear infection and over the past 12 hrs i have taken 9 advil (ibuprofen) is that too much?

Earache: See your doctor asap, in the meantimeuse a heating pad set on low or ahot waterbottle.You can also use warm olive oil drop to sooth the pain. Nine advil (ibuprofen) over 12 hours is a bit much.
