A member asked:

My son of 2 is saying that he's right ear is sore what can i give him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Comfort measures: Ibuprofen at proper dose/wt is usually effective for any discomfort. A warm compress applied to the ear/side of head seems to provide relief to some, when they let you. If it continues he needs to be seen.
