I feel miserable. My throat is swollen and ear hurts and I cant swallow because it hurts so bad. WE dont have insurance for 4 more days. So I found some old antibiotics to take to see if they help. They arent tooo old about 5 months. Must have been something that was given but didnt work for what I had. Hopefully they will work on this and I'll get to gargling salt water too.
If anyone else knows of anything more I can do let me know. Thanks Beth

Can you take any over-the-counter pain relievers, like Aleve (naproxen sodium) or Motrin? That would might help reduce inflammation. In addition to the salt-water rinses, drinking warm liquids like chicken soup or broth may help. Using a vaporizer may help also; if you are having congestion (which is a possibility if your ears are hurting) it will make it easier for the drainage to pass. My good friend, who is a nurse, swears by using the vaporizer.... Alternatively, taking hot showers, even a couple of times a day, might be useful if you're not using a vaporizer, to get the advantage of the steam.
Hope you start feeling better as soon as possible. Take care, Erin

Thanks Kathy and Erin. Yes I am taking Advil, to help with the inflamation and the temperature I am carrying. I dont have a vaporizer, but I have been doing the hot baths. At least it helps with the achiness from the temperature. I hope something works soon.

Even though im maxed out on doc appointments w. my insurance for this calender year, i still went in because you never want to just push your health aside if your gut instinct tells you something is wrong. just remember that. how are you feeling?

Oops sorry, pretty much forgot I posted about this. It took about a week altogether, but I am fine now. Throat feels good and so does the ear. I think the salt water gargles and the antibiotics and even eating some chips ( which I normally hate) helped heal things up.If it had not gotten any better I would have gone to the doctor because the pain was so bad. I'm just glad that everything worked ok and I didnt have to.
Thanks for asking and replying . I think I'll make it lolol
