Been to the ER twice in two days because of this nonsense. The motrin wasn't working very well, and now they're giving me codeine and some topical eardrop painkiller to compliment it while I continue my 10-day antibiotic treatment.

On top of that, Blizzard won't give me a d3 beta key.

How could hell be any worse?

Hm I've never had an ear infection. Weird how different people are prone to different illnesses XD

The only serious thing I really ever recall getting in my life occasional strep throat... to each his own bacteria I guess!

Ear infection = banana medicine = worth it. But hey, I'm coming off a fever so I'm willing to switch with you OP.

occasionally using a hydrogen peroxide+water solution (i've found 50/50 works best for me) to clean out your ears will help prevent this a lot of the times. hope this helps!

If hes getting oral antibotics then it prob means its middle ear. Hydrogen peroxide won't do jack squat except for make him suffer more pain when the solution hits his ear drum.

Take ur antibotics and hope ur doctor is competent enough to prescribe you the right ones.

I used to get ear infections once or twice a year, getting them in both ears at once was terrible.
Usually just went to the doctor, got some amoxicillin and then it got better pretty quickly.

Ouch. Ear infections are sooooo painful. I don't swim any longer because I'm extremely prone to them. Is it only one ear, or is it a double?

Just getting over an ear infection now.. actually it's basically done but my ear is still plugged up.... Had to go the hospital 5 days ago because the pain was so bad.... and I'm in China so that was a pain in itself.

Just starting to get better after having a sinus infection and ear canal infection. It was some of the worst pain of my life, no lie. I've been on two antibiotics, hydrocodone for the pain (500mg ibuprofin every 4 hours wasn't cutting it), and some crappy ear drops. I feel for you, man.

I was taking hydrocodone and actually have almost a full bottle of it left on my desk here because after the first dosage it barely helped and then I tried some 800mg ibuprofen my gf left me and it completely took all the pain away for 6hours at the least. When I took vicodin it would only help for about 3hours after the 1st dosage.

At least the diagnosed you with it, lol. I used to get ear infections all the time in China, but never got diagnosed. Came to America, found a hole in my eardrum, get an MRI done, turns out I have a tumor caused by ear infections... Luckily it wasn't cancerous. xD But yeah, they suck. BAAAAAAAAAD.

I get really bad ear infections. Last one I got hurt so bad I passed out. It really is one of the most painful things I've experienced >_<

But oh god once it starts perforating and letting out the pressure - oh my god that feeling is bliss.

I had so many ear infections when i was really young (I was a very sick child) It caused many problems. I would not tell my mother when my ears were sore because it would be such a common occurance. Because I could rarely hear properly, I developed speech problems which I needed to go to a speech therapist to fix, and for the long term effects, it has severely scarred my ear drum because it would get to the point where my ear drum would rupture. MEANING I now, at age 22, have tinitus (a constant ringing in the ears) and will have for the rest of my life.
TLDR ear infections really are lame and i feel ya bro

i wish they had started me on codeine and then went up to vicodin. just woke up feeling absolutely miserable, took a codeine and hopefully it'll kick in soon but a vicodin would be nice.

ibuprofen is motrin, and its not doing anything for me. it did the first two times but after that, nope.
