Earache : Give ibuprofen and/or Tylenol, to control pain. Needs to see PCP, or minor emergency room to have her ear looked at ASAP. May need treatment.

Mgt: I would suggest a visit to the acute care center to rule out a possible pneumonia,Otitis Media infection. She may need to be treated with antibiotics. Has she had a fever? Please check her temperature, prior to giving Ibuprofen.
