General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Noted your history of severe pain in ear due to middle ear infection. Yes, it is very painful.

I would advise you the following in such a situation:
* Take an anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen if it suits you.
* You also need a nasal and oral decongestant.
* Antibiotic is prescription based hence you have to consult your Doctor and may be get an opinion of an ENT Surgeon.
* Do not blow nose.
* Give hot fomentation to ear.
* Take rest.
Do not shout at all as it can increase the intra-tympanic pressure.

I hope this answer helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant
