Earache. have no olive oil, just vegetable oil can this be used? have used paracetamol but no good yet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More time: Paracetamol should be given at the proper dose at least 4 times a day and for 2-3 days. If there are other signs of problems like a significant fever, or any drainage from the ear or severe pain an exam would be indicated. Many ear infections will pass without antibiotics, but a doctor can always tell more by looking at the ear.
