Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Fever And Ear Pain After A Flight Journey

Good morning. Our 15 year old son traveled for a baseball tournament by plane this past weekend. He became ill and got a fever on the trip back home this past Monday. He has had a fever on and off since then. Yesterday he was complaining of ear pain in one of his ears early in the morning. it subsided. Now he is complaining this other ear is in extreme pain. Especially when he lays down. Is this an issue that requires immediate attention? Thank you.

Hello,

In my opinion, your son should go to the doctor because the ear gives extreme pain and fever most of the cases due to an infection. So, in this case, you will need medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
