solution for ear pain - #14445

Tara

I am a bit worried about this ear pain I've been having for the past couple weeks. It all started after I got a cold; I thought it was just a minor thing, you know? But now it feels like there's constant pressure, and some days it just hurts! Like, I can't even lay my head on my pillow without feeling this stabbing ache. I’ve tried over-the-counter pain relievers but they only dull it for a bit. The other night, I woke up and it felt like my ear was full of liquid or, I dunno, something bubbling inside. Googled, of course, and saw stuff about ear infections and sinus issues, and wow, now I'm kinda freaking out. Is there a real solution for ear pain that doesn’t involve more meds? I've been cautious about taking too many painkillers, and honestly, I'm not even sure if that's helping the issue or just masking it. My friends say heat might help, but I’m not sure about that. Any advice, like, what's the best solution for ear pain? Anyone out there been through this? What did you do? I just want this to go away.
