A member asked:
I've had a really bad ear infection for the passed 3 days. what are remedies that can soothe an ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
RX numbing ear drops: There are multiple types of ear infections. Each has its own treatment. Also, what some patients think are ear infections prove to be earwax impactions or non-infectious fluid behind the eardrum. So, it would be extremely difficult for you to self treat an ear infection without professional help. Until then try a gentle blow dryer or get your md to call in rx numbing drops as you await your appt.
