What to do if i have ear pain, had tubes put in when i was little?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprofen: If viral, you only need comfort measures.Ibuprofen and occasionally holding gentle heat to the ear (heating pad on low or compress) will often do the trick.If it persists, you need to have it evaluated to see if specific treatments are needed.Ear tubes as a kid may mean you are more likely to have a middle ear infection that requires treatment.
