Brief Answer:
Try the following combination!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Am so sorry to hear about this pain. Do you have any ear pain associated to this or your believe it is entirely located on the skin surface?

Because more potent pain medications are not available OTC, I will suggest a combination with common drugs that is more potent when taken together.

Tylenol: 1g every 6-8hours
Advil: 600mg every 8hours.

Remember to eat well, especially while on advil.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and keep me posted on your progress.
