A member asked:
I have ear infections occasionally and have developed another but can't get to dr for a couple days. tips for dealing with the discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprofen/heat: Ibuprofen seems to provide good general pain control. Laying on a heating pad (low) with affected side somehow distracts the brain so it does not perceive the discomfort as much.
