Ear Infection
I've had severe pain in my right ear since Sunday. I went to the doctor on Thursday and found out my ear is infected and inflamed right before the eardrum. I was prescribed ear drops that I put 4 drops into my ear, twice daily. Its Saturday and my ear hurts the same or worse as it did on Thursday. I was told that my ear should start to feel better within 24 hours and if it doesn't, see my doctor. It's Saturday and my doctor is away next week. I'm in alot of pain and I just want it gone.
