My son is in cpt and has a terrible ear ache and he is sick but he is flying back to jozi is it safe and what can he do to help the ear ache?

Earache: Apply heat to the ear, get appropriate ear drops recommended by a pharmacist, take pain reliever like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, and be examined by a physician as soon as feasible as he may need antibiotics for a middle ear infection.
