A member asked:
Can there be anything you can do to cure an ear ache/infection without antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Jaw precautions: Very often ear pain is not caused by the ear and rather it's caused by the jaw joint.. Try anti-inflammatories, ice for 20 minutes three times a day as well as a strictly soft diet and see if your pain goes away.
