I went to the doctor today because my ear has been killing me! It turns out I have an outer AND inner infection and I am going on a flight tomorrow!! >.< Any ways to help with the pain other than pain killers? Thanks! :(

(((((Hugs))))) That sounds like a possibly excruciatingly painful trip!
One thing that helps my ears is oil drops from Wal-mart. I can't recall the exact name right now, but it's easily found (usually with earplugs and stuff for swimmers ears). I usually put the ear drops in then seal my ears with cotton balls to keep it all from draining.
Woah careful dude, you really shouldn't go on that flight if you have a bad ear infection. It could result in permanent hearing damage.Quote:

I would have to concur with Spartiate.
I remember having an ear infection a few years back. When you go into the doc he's dig around in your ear to get some of the "plaque" out; which, by the way, was the most excruciatingly painful experience of my life. So...yeah, have fun with that ;)
thanks everyone. My doctor said it was okay to take the flight so I did. I got a 10 hour delay >.<. Anyway it hurt tons but my ear is okay with all the medication the doctor is giving me.
