A member asked:

Remedies for ear ache my daughter is sick with sore throat and fever last night then today her ear has shooting pain. when she was little she was prone to several ear infections and her ear drum has busted

She : She needs a visit with her doctor in order to make sure she does not have an ear infection at present. If so then she will likely need antibiotics unless the doctor feels it is viral. There are also medicated ear drops that her doctor can prescribe to help alleviate the pain. Also tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can be used. I hope she is better soon.

Ibuprofen: Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen can help fever or pain. Use the appropriate dose for her weight, and don't alternate between the two (just pick one and give it regularly). See her doctor to find out if she has an ear infection.
