My ear is painful, what can i use to ease the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear pain: Apply heat to the ear area. Take an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen and you can add acetaminophen also. It's best to have your ear examined in case you have a middle ear infection. There are ear drops that can relieve earache but oral antibiotics are also prescribed for middle ear infections. See your MD.
