DAMN! These ear infections are killing me!

[LostInAnomie]

Both fucking ears are infected. Everything sounds like I'm underwater and the pressure makes it feel like my ear drums are pushing out of my head.

It sucks!

1. I have a really bad one too.

Advil is helping a little. But I think a trip to the Emergency Room might be needed before the end of this night.

2. I thought I had outgrown them.

I haven't had one since I was around 6. I guess you never outgrow crap that sucks.

3. Sorry to hear that. Hope it will be better soon.

If it continues for more than three days PLEASE go to a doctor. Heck, if hurts that much don't be afraid to go to the emergency room.

4. Already been to the doctor.

He gave me some anti-biotics and told me to pop some Advil. Now I'm just waiting until it gets better.

5. Did he give you a prescription for antibiotic eardrops? He should have.

He should have given you an oral antibiotic and an otic antibiotic such as neomycin solution (a thick, viscous version that will coat your inner ear and not just run out right after you put it in.

6. I totally agree on the Otic antibiotics

I haven't done ER in many years,but even with my kids...I had a great pediatrician who prescribed both...much quicker recovery time.

7. Well, that SOB.

He just gave me two different types of pills. No drops. x(
