Brief Answer:
Try lidocaine drops

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand that your chuld has ear infection leading on to ear pain.
Your doctor must have seen the eardrum and prescribed appropriate medicines.
To relieve pain I usually advice lidocaine ear drops 2 drops thrice daily till pain settles.
Warning :
1.This has to be prescribed by your doctor.
2. This drops can be used only if eardrum is intact which needs ear examination. It should be administered in perforated eardrum which xan sometimes happen in ear infection .

My advice will be to recheck with your doctor if it is safe to give lidocaine drops in your childs case.

Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
