What Medication Is Suggested For Ruptured Left Ear Drum?
My 9 yr old daughter ruptured her left ear drum ( for the second time!)
She is on antibiotics ( only the 2nd day)... What is the best position for her to sleep? Our nights have been very long and she is feeling anxious about getting into bed because of the pain she's endured the last few nights. Warm compress with bad ear upright? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
