.: If pain does not decrease or if having fever, runny nose or cough, better to see a physician to check for need of antibiotics.

Ibuprofen, exam: For short term pain relief, Ibuprofen in appropriate doses helps.You can also provide a heating pad for the kid to place his/her ear on & this seems to provide some relief. An office visit to identify a treatable cause during regular office hours would be ideal.
