    Sad How long for F sake?!

    How freaking long do ear infections last for? I know there are many variables but what is your experience? Mine started late Monday, I went to the Doctor and started taking my meds Tuesday, stayed home yesterday, and yet STILL today my ear feels the same . I've been consistent with my antibiotics. I'm using antibiotic/steroid ear drops...WHY am I no better yet? I don't have past experience with ear infections, so can you guys tell me, does this sound normal?

    Not that I don't love having extra time for Stripperweb...but I'm getting antsy and need to get back to work! THANKS!

    Ouch! Earaches and toothaches, IMO, are the most painful things in the world! I would have thought that taking the antibiotics would be working by now, alleviating the pain.

    I would call your doctor if I were you. That doesn't sound right. Feel better.

    Sometimes its just the fluid pressure on the ear drum that is causing the pain.

    But, yeah, I would call the doctor and let them know that it doesn't feel like its getting better. You may need a different antibiotic.

    most ear infections are caused by viruses...so antibiotics won't work.

    take some sudafed..that will help alleviate pressure

    get some olive oil, warm it up, not too hot, and put a few drops in your ear. lay down so it sits there, put some of the oil on a cotton ball and put that in your ear..not too far, just enough to keep the oil in. this helps with pain

    for pain you can also take ibuprofen. And you can take a small cup, put a couple of wet paper towels in the bottom and heat it up, put the cup over your ears, the heat helps with pain.

    you can also get some garlic in a tincture type form, a few drops in the ear helps with healing.

    I had swimmers ear not to long ago, not sure if it is the same as an ear infection though. Anyhow, I think I had only 1 or 2 days left of my antiobiotics left b/f my ear started feeling better, that was with the eardrops that were prescribed to me as well. Hope you start feeling better soon.

    My nana used to do this. I had completely forgotten about it until I read your post. Now my inlaws swear by white vinegar. You'd use it in the same way.

    Either way, you smell like a salad.

    My ear infections have gotten better by day 2 of antibiotics.

    ya olive oil is a natural anti-inflamatory

    i'm not sure about white vinegar, but i could see apple cider vigar working.

    I always use ear candles for my ear infections. There's some debate as to how well they work, but to me, they're a godsend.
