My ear hurts - Page 2

Decongestant will help. So will pain meds.
If the drum is perforated, putting oil in will hurt like a mf'er and could make any infection worse, if it's not, the counter pressure will relieve the pain immediately.
Ear infections treated with antibiotics typically last 7 days, untreated they last about a week.

heehee. effect of antibiotics.

Decongestant. Try it. any one should do. Pain meds, I forget to suggest that because i hate them, but they should work too.

On the subject of pain meds, both times they gave me numbing ear drops. That was the good stuff.

Edit to add: Ah, found the bottle. It's called "A/B otic drops." Prescription only, it seems.

I don't have any decongestants. Or pain meds.

Bummer.

monster · 06-11-2009, 09:35 PM

monster · 06-11-2009, 09:45 PM

Jammies on -that's what drive thru is for. sheesh Call yersel a 'merkin? bah.

Shawnee123 · 06-11-2009, 09:46 PM

You can get decongestants at a drive thru? Wait, are talking about beer?

monster · 06-11-2009, 09:48 PM

that works too. but you can get them using the rx drive-thru

Shawnee123 · 06-11-2009, 09:49 PM

Oh...I thought that was just to pick up scripts. I didn't know you could order stuff.

Anyway, too late now. I'm going to bed. Lonnnggggg day tomorrow (graduation ceremony) and I'll probably wish I had gone to the drugstore.

monster · 06-11-2009, 09:50 PM

sort of seriously, beer can work pretty well, actually. depends on the cause of the nastiness, but if it's a drainage issue, it can sometmes allow enough relaxation to resolve the issue. Plus it has "pain relief properties" Did that sound technical enough?

monster · 06-11-2009, 09:51 PM

If you can sleep, you didn't need to take anything anyway
