Question

as i type this i am like crying. I am getting the worst headaches i have evergotton. The doctor gave me really expensive drops and they dont work eather. Please help i need something for the pain

Answer 1

Stuff cotton in your ears and take ibuprofen or something and then if  you ever swim again always where earplugs!

Answer 2

There are drops you can get from like Walgreens... I forgot what they are called but we use it in our house and it works wonderfully!!

Answer 3

Are you allergic to tylenol?   Not being sarcastic, it's an anti inflammatory pain medicine.

Answer 4

go to an ear specialist. I was on the medicine a normal doctor gave me for almost 2 wks and it still wasn't working. Then I went to a specialist and in cleared up in like a wk. Also try asking for an ear wick. It helps gets the medicine down faster.

When it clears up pour some hydrogen peroxide(rubbung alcohol) down your ear and let it sit for about 3 seconds before draining it out. Do this every time before you go swimming. It drys out your ears so you can't get swimmers ear as long as your doing this. But don't, for your own sake, ever do this when you have swimmers ear. It burns your ears so badly its like soak a cut in rubbing alcohol. In other words: BAD IDEA!

Answer 5

Take some Advil or some sort of pain reliever.

Also, are your ear drops a white color because i took some kind (dont remember the name) and they were white colored and it greatly helped.  I was recommended them by a doctor at the Minute Clinic at CVS pharmacy in case you are wondering. I had to go there because it was a sunday and the doctor's office was closed.

Answer 6

it takes about 3, 4 days for the drops to work,

you can take aspirin for pain.

if you have a blow dryer, set it on low heat, and "blow dry" the inside of your ears. you should hold the hot part of the blow dryer at least 4 inches from your ear.  the idea is to let warm air get into your ear.  not to burn the inside or outside of your ears.

Answer 7

This works..dump peroxide in your ear and put a hot rag on it, dont turn your head so it pours out stay like that for a while then do the next ear..Good luck..It helps me everytime. Take some excedrin migraine also!!
