Baby has chronic ear infections and pain. any otc meds i can give besides tylenol/ibuprofen that will take pain away? waiting for tube procedure a.t.m
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Auralgan (benzocaine and antipyrine) drops may help but should not be used often, more than1-2 times a day and not if the eardrum is punctured or the ear is draining. I hope you get those tubes soon. All the best.

I have been prescribed antibiotics for ear pain the past 3 days, and the pain got much worse. They now have me taking 3200mg ibuprofen and I'm also taking 1200-2000 mg Tylenol a day. It's not effective anymore, and I can't sleep at all. What do I do?

I keep getting head aches that start around either eye, usually my left but now starting at my right. The pain is usually one sided and very strong. Today I have taken Tylenol and ibuprofen in rotation as well as napping to try to kick the head ache and nothing. I am unsure why I get these and they seem to be getting more frequent. Head aches?
