Hi I have severe, SEVERE ear pain. i went to the emergency room as my regular ENT would not see me before Monday. I was in the emergency room Wed. night. i was given antibiotics, topical antibiotics and a numbing solution. When I called my ENT again the next day, still no earlier appointment! The pain is so severe, I have been taking Aleve far more than the bottle instructs. I combine it with Ibuprophin. What can I do to help myself before Monday with the doc s appointment. I feel my doctor should have made room in his schedule to see me. I have been running a fever and cannot chew. I am swollen on my neck and face and around my ear. I have severe pain in the ear. The EM doc said my ear canal was so swollen he could not see the ear drum. All help will be appreciated. Thank you.
