Posted on Fri, 30 Jan 2015

Question: I am just now getting over a cold that has lingered since Monday of this week. Indeed, after feeling around in my ear lobe this morning, a few hours later my ear has been hurting. The pain has radiated from mild to below mild. AS of now the pain is slightly tolerable. I have tried Hyland's Earache Drops and this seem to had worked for a moment but after about an hour, the pain came back.

What should I do?
