My left ear hurts bad. what can i do without going to the doctors?

Try some pain meds: Hopefully its nothing serious and a little bit of tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen can get things calmed down. Unfortunately, with ear infections, direct visualization helps us guide treatment. Your other option is to try tele-health. If the history is suggestive enough, some treatment can be offered to you.
