A member asked:

How can one cure an ear ache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"DEPENDS": You have no idea how badly i hate to answer a question with the "d" word, but it truly does. Earaches can be caused by many things, including irritation, inflammation, infection, tumors, foreign objects, etc. So in order to "cure an earache, we need to see you, get a history, and look in it and around it.
