Suggest Treatment For Severe Ear Pain While Suffering From An Ear Infection
Hi I got a rather sudden and severe ear infection last night and as a result my ear drum burst. I ve felt this happen before. This time though my ear still hurts pretty bad. Now I ve taken some prescribed pain killers that I had at my house. 600mg acetaminophen 60mg codine and im still in pain. Should i go to the doctors or can I take more pain killers to help me fall asleep?
