Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
The most common cause of ear pain is an ear infection.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-take antibiotics such as augmentin 625 mg for 7 days 2 tablets a day
-take eardrops for a local effect.
-warm compresses
-use a pain killer such as ibuprofen
-continue with the prednisone.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
