I'm feeling better today, hopefully the worst of the withdrawal/side effects/whatever has passed. However, my left ear has been hurting yesterday and today. Coincidentally I have an appointment with my doctor on Friday to follow up on hospital stuff, so I can have her take a look at it then.
I have a family remedy fro earache which is worth sharing at least...and its used worldwide too..
Heat olive oil in a couple of pieces of halved garlic cloves. About five minutes. Dont let garlic get black, medium heat is best.
Wait for It to cool. This also helps more of the garlic seep imto thw oil, waiting
Discard the garlic. May want to slightly reheat oil depending. The warm (not hot) oil actually feels soothing n nice compared to cold oil.
Lie down on side with hurting ear facing up and have someone else check temperature on their wrist, before pouring it slowly into the hurting ear.
It is usually a teaspoon worth or less. Then seal it with a wad of tissue or, as my grandma does, a clove of peeled garlic.
You must lay there for fifteen minutes at least, before getting up. Can read or use phone to watch something I suppose
It needs to be done at least twice a day.
It should help pain and lessen or fix it entirely. Even if meds are needed, it gives temporary relief and takes down any infection anyway.
My mom is a doctor and regularly did this for us if we had earaches. Idk if its something u want to ask your doctor about
generally the earlier after acquiring the earache that u do it the greater likelihood of reducing pain or infection
